Silicon Carbide (SiC) is an irreplaceable material in high temperature industries like metallurgy and ceramics due to its superior heat resistance, corrosion resistance, and low coefficient of thermal expansion.
Aerospace applications that demand resistance against high temperatures and wear can benefit from sintered SiC tiles from (need remove brand name).
High-Performance Materials
Silicon carbide (SSiC) is a ceramic material produced either through reaction bonding or sintering, both of which contribute significantly to its final microstructure. Saint-Gobain Hexoloy brand sintered SiC offers premium performance with superior chemical and mechanical properties at extreme end-use temperatures.
Silicon carbide tiles have become an essential material in aerospace structure manufacturing due to their high temperature tolerance, low density and wear and corrosion resistance properties. Silicon carbide tiles have become essential in creating hypersonic aircraft and missile nose cones owing to their use as high temperature resistant tiles with excellent wear resistance properties.
Industrial suppliers are now adding alternative, high-performance materials to their standard catalog items because these materials can help their products last longer and perform better in harsh environments. Examples of such materials are boron nitride and silicone carbide; both materials offer much harder surfaces than 316L stainless steel while remaining less dense than rubber or urethanes and providing greater corrosion and abrasion resistance.
Aerospace
Silicon carbide withstands bullet energy more effectively than aluminum oxide or boron carbide, making it an attractive ceramic material for ballistic applications. Indeed, silicon carbide ranks third hardest among known materials after diamond and cubic boron nitride.
Silicon carbide stands out among its peers with its superior oxidation resistance and mechanical properties such as low creep and high tensile strength, along with great chemical and thermal shock resistance. It offers several distinct advantages over other materials.
Silicon carbide can be produced using various processes, including dry pressing, extrusion and reaction bonding. Saint-Gobain Hexoloy is an example of such an application: its reaction bonded ceramic made by sintering porous carbon feedstock with molten silica results in outstanding physical and chemical properties at temperatures reaching 1400degC without losing strength or hardness over time – ideal for applications such as mechanical seals/pump parts for pumps/motor vehicles/equipment as well as general industrial machines/applications/ machines/machines etc.
Automotive
Silicon Carbide (SiC) is an impressive ceramic material with superior thermal and chemical performance. Boasting high hardness, low thermal expansion coefficient, and remarkable corrosion resistance properties, SiC makes an excellent material choice for use in demanding environments such as 3D printing, ballistics, energy technology and paper manufacturing.
Silicon carbide also features exceptional oxidation resistance at temperatures up to 1400degC, making it essential for process industries. Oxidation of traditional refractory ceramics like cristobalite can cause volumetric and linear expansion that leads to cracking or failure of ceramic shapes.
SiSiC hexgonal tiles are highly wear-resistant ceramic linings designed for use in mine material classification cyclones, large boiler and power plant desulfurization and dust removal equipment, coal slag pneumatic conveying systems, etc. When compared with standard bricks, RBSC liners offer better abrasion resistance, service life, thinner thickness, lower load capacity requirements, reduced transportation and storage costs and excellent distortion resistance compared to their counterparts.
Oil & Gas
Silicon carbide is an ideal material to withstand high pressures, heat and friction in oil and gas applications. With low density, extreme hardness and chemical resistance it can also be machined with tight tolerances allowing it to be machined for precise applications.
IPS Ceramics’ sintered SiC is designed to withstand high temperatures while still remaining mechanically strong, providing thermal shock resistance and a low coefficient of expansion that make it suitable for equipment that requires load bearing capabilities in high temperature environments.
