Silicon Carbide Plates are essential elements of modern armor solutions, providing exceptional resistance against various threats. Their hard yet lightweight composition enables them to provide reliable protection from ballistic projectiles, high velocity fragments and chemical agents.
Stanford Advanced Materials (SAM) offers an assortment of silicon carbide plate products for purchase and customization is also available upon request.
Styrka
Silicon carbide is an extremely durable and reliable material, capable of withstanding extreme temperatures and chemical environments. With high mechanical strength and flexural rigidity, silicon carbide makes an ideal material choice for armor/ballistic protection, cutting tools and wear-resistant components. Furthermore, its thermal properties and low coefficient of thermal expansion make it a prime candidate for load bearing applications at high temperatures.
Silicon Carbide Plate can be created through several processes, including hot pressing, pressure-less sintering and reactive sintering. Reactive sintering is particularly helpful in creating SiC ceramics with complex shapes and high levels of density; during the reactive sintering process molten silicon infiltrates the porous C/SiC green body via capillary action and reacts with carbon to produce b-SiC particles which then fill any redundant pores for a fully dense body.
IPS Ceramics provides a comprehensive selection of oxide-bonded silicon carbide plate products, such as hearth plates, recuperator tubes, pusher slabs and skid rails, suitable for building kilns in the metallurgical industry. We take great care in packaging our products either in 1000 kg big bags or 25 kilogram bags to maintain their integrity during transit and guarantee quality and integrity of service.
Termisk konduktivitet
Silicon carbide plate is an incredibly high-performance ceramic material with excellent mechanical, thermal, and chemical properties that make it the perfect material for industrial applications like armor protection, cutting tools, wear resistance components, corrosion protection and extreme temperatures resistance.
SiC is an extremely strong, hard synthetic material which was the hardest known man-made or natural material until 1929 when boron carbide became available for commercial use. Mohs hardness rating of 9 compares closely with diamond, making SiC an effective abrasive used in grinding wheels as well as paper/cloth products for grinding wheels.
SiC is known for its durability and strength; in addition, it’s non-toxic and inert – making it safe for use in various industrial applications. Furthermore, SiC offers excellent resistance against damage and corrosion making it the ideal material choice for manufacturing processes involving chemicals that will come into direct contact with it.
Silicon carbide plates can be created using various processes, including hot pressing, HIP and reaction-bonded sintering. All three processes involve creating green bodies which are then heated at high temperatures before being sintered into finished pieces; this allows for the creation of porous or dense silicon carbide ceramics with excellent thermal conductivity, thermal expansion rates and corrosion resistance against acids and lyes.
Resistance to Corrosion
Silicon carbide plate is an inert nonmetallic material with excellent corrosion and erosion resistance in acidic, alkaline and other chemical environments. Additionally, its excellent oxidation resistance, temperature stability, low thermal expansion rate make it a highly sought after ceramic raw material for many applications that require high temperatures or strong chemical corrosion. Silicon carbide is among the lightest, hardest and strongest technical ceramic materials on the market with Mohs hardness of 9.5, making it one of the longest lasting technical ceramic materials.
Refractory silicon carbide (RSiC) exhibits characteristics of high-temperature stability, good oxidation resistance, low thermal expansion and long life. It is commonly used as an inert material in furnaces as well as other high temperature situations; its strength remains nearly constant even at very high temperatures (1600degC), making it easy to work with and handle.
Plate heat exchangers offer many applications where they excel over traditional shell-and-tube apparatus, including their lower size/footprint/weight requirements and almost universal chemical and abrasion resistance. Mascera provides various SP58 RSiC plates suitable for these purposes – these applications include kiln shelves as well as loading structure systems of tunnel and shuttle kilns.
Sintered and reaction bonded silicon carbide ceramics (RSiCs) can both be found for this application, yet RSiC stands out. Sintering processes often result in shape shrinkage while reaction bonded ceramics can be formed from micron-sized powder for rapid, cost-efficient production with long lifespan.
Hållbarhet
Silicon carbide is an extremely hard and durable ceramic material used in numerous applications. Its benefits include being non-toxic, resistant to chemical corrosion and withstanding high temperatures; as well as offering good thermal stability and low thermal expansion – perfect for environments both hot and cold.
Mohs hardness rating of 9.5 makes aluminum oxide an excellent abrasive material, while it can also be found in refractory materials, automotive components and grinding wheels. Aluminum oxide can also be doped with either boron and aluminum to make a p-type semiconductor or nitrogen and phosphorus for an n-type semiconductor application.
First LEDs to be introduced into electronic devices utilized silicon carbide technology. Silicon carbide has become an attractive alternative to diamond jewelry due to its lower cost and increased durability.
Silicon carbide is widely known for its durability and shock absorption properties, making it the ideal material for bulletproof plates and motorcycles alike. Furthermore, this property requires careful handling – hence why silicon carbide material is often transported in 1,000 kg big bags or 25 kilogram bags for transport purposes.
