Imagine a material capable of operating under extreme conditions, resisting radiation damage and withstanding electric fields up to 10 times higher than silicon. Silicon carbide (SiC), is the solution to many industrial challenges. we offer high-performance SiC ceramic solutions designed to maximize efficiency and performance across various applications. Discover more about this revolutionary advancement and discover how it can transform the performance of kiln.
Hardness
Silicon carbide provides an exceptional combination of strengths and benefits that enable it to thrive even in the most extreme environments, including resistance to high temperatures, corrosion, abrasion, wear and abrasion. Furthermore, this material boasts hardness similar to diamond, making it highly resilient and long-term durable.
Pure silicon carbide powder may be densified to near theoretical density with extreme high temperature and pressure conditions; however, this process is impractical for manufacturing purposes. By adding small amounts of aluminum oxide or boron carbide to the powder mixture, densification at 1 GPa pressure becomes feasible.
It creates an extremely strong material with outstanding resistance to air or oxygen oxidation, excellent abrasion resistance and low friction – qualities which make it suitable for pump seal faces used in chemical processing, oil refining and mining operations as well as composite armor protection systems designed to stop high velocity projectiles.
Hexoloy SE sintered silicon carbide tube is an excellent choice for shell and tube heat exchangers in the chemical industry due to their superior corrosion resistance, high thermal conductivity and hardness. Extruded products available with 8mm, 12.7 mm, 14mm or 19mm outer diameters up to 4.5 meters lengths provide customized solutions tailored specifically for any application.
Corrosion Resistance
Silicon carbide tube is highly resistant to corrosion, making it the ideal material for industrial applications. It can withstand high temperatures and aggressive chemicals without cracking under pressure; additionally, its high modulus of elasticity and low thermal expansion make it suitable for mechanical seals, bearings and structures in semiconductor production facilities – such as crucibles.
Pressureless sintered silicon carbide is highly resistant to corrosion, offering exceptional protection from all acids (hydrochloric, sulfuric and phosphoric), bases (amines and potash), solvents and oxidizing media such as nitric acid.
Due to its superior erosion and abrasion resistance, ceramic tubing makes an excellent material choice for shot blast nozzles, ceramic tubing, cyclone components and chemical industry applications such as metal production, oil extraction and oil shale extraction. Furthermore, ceramic can even withstand the high-pressure environments typically found in power plants or smelters.
When it comes to choosing materials for your application, it’s essential to take all relevant factors into account. By carefully considering these considerations, you can ensure you receive optimal quality and performance from your equipment, protecting both its investment and future performance. By choosing silicon carbide tubes specifically tailored for your use case you can unlock exceptional performance while increasing productivity.
High Thermal Conductivity
Silicon carbide is widely recognized for its exceptional strength, wear resistance, thermal conductivity and chemical inertness – qualities which make it highly desirable across industries. But to select the ideal silicon carbide ceramic tube for your project it’s crucial to understand how size and shape affect its performance – this will allow you to select an appropriate ceramic tube size/shape combination.
Silicon carbide ceramic tubes are utilized in numerous furnace applications such as burners and cooling tubes for static hot sections on rockets, airplanes, car engines and gas turbines. These long tubes typically span 4 meters in length and must withstand extreme temperatures, pressures and harsh corrosive environments that expose them to high temperatures, pressures and wear pressures while remaining thermally conductive to ensure stability without fracture.
Kilns employ silicon carbide ceramic tubes as hearth plates, recuperator tubes, skid rails, pusher slabs and girders, as well as lightweight furniture such as posts, firing rings and deck slabs. Furthermore, these silicon carbide ceramic tubes can withstand extremely high temperatures without losing strength, as well as being resistant to attack from aggressive chemicals.
Sintered silicon carbide is an integral material used in advanced refractories and abrasives such as grinding wheels and sand tiles. With an unrivalled crystalline structure – second only to diamond’s – sintered silicon carbide retains strength at very high temperatures – ideal for resistors and varistors in electrical components.
Chemical Inertness
Chemical inertness of a material refers to its ability to resist reactions with other compounds at ambient or elevated temperatures, making silicon carbide one of the key characteristics. Chemically inert materials do not form new bonds with any substances under any circumstances and are capable of withstanding hostile environments for extended periods.
Silicon carbide is the ideal material for applications where harsh and corrosive chemicals will come into contact with it, having great resistance against acids, alkalis, and oxidizing media. Furthermore, its high melting point ensures it remains unaffected by most corrosive media for extended periods of time – an invaluable advantage!
Chemical inert materials are defined in chemistry as materials which undergo reactions under normal temperatures and pressures at rates significantly below their rate of decomposition, such as SiO2 sand which doesn’t form new chemical bonds under such conditions.
Chemical inertness of a product depends on its kinetic properties; for instance, fluorine can react with relatively inert materials like glass and form compounds with lighter noble gases due to having lower initial ionization energy than heavier noble gases.
