Silicon Carbide Tube for Superior Strength and Conductivity

Silicon Carbide Tube for Superior Strength and Conductivity

Silicon carbide ceramic tubes are ideal components for many industrial processes that demand high temperature resistance, corrosion resistance and abrasion resistance as well as chemical inertness and dimensional stability.

As these components feature low coefficients of thermal expansion and strength, they're almost immune to thermal shock - an ideal feature for power industry applications.
High Temperature Resistance

Silicon carbide is an extremely tough material that offers exceptional strength in wear applications even under high-pressure conditions, with a Mohs hardness rating of 9.5 outstripping that of its rival tungsten carbide. Furthermore, its lighter density (3.21g/cm3) helps lessen mass-related wear and tear.

Sintered silicon carbide from XICAR is highly durable and designed to withstand even the harshest environments, including those containing chemicals with strong corrosion potential. Temperatures up to 1600oC have no adverse impact on its flexural strength. Furthermore, its thermal expansion coefficient is low while conducting heat efficiently.

As it resists corrosion from abrasive blasting and strong acids or alkalis, it makes it an excellent choice for protecting thermocouples in environments prone to corrosion such as chemical processing plants or nonferrous metal smelting processes. Furthermore, its resistance makes it ideal for use in kiln furnace components as well as key parts in nonferrous metal smelting processes involving chemicals or nonferrous metal smelting processes. It has even become the go-to material in thermocouple protection applications within these industries than ceramics or ductile metals!
Excellent Corrosion Resistance

Silicon carbide tubes offer unparalleled corrosion protection even in harsh chemical environments, making them especially ideal for applications in power, metallurgy and manufacturing industries requiring equipment that can withstand acid corrosion at high pressures.

This material boasts impressive physical properties that include tight dimensional control, fine grain size and low porosity. Furthermore, its hardness rivals that of diamonds. Furthermore, its impact and abrasion resistance allow it to endure impacts as well as high flexural strengths at both room temperature and higher temperature settings.

Ceramic material boasting excellent corrosion and wear resistance makes it well-suited to applications requiring both high performance and long lifespans, such as sandblasting injectors, automotive water pump seals, bearing components and furnace parts. Due to its resistance to chemical attack at high temperatures and its thermal conductivity characteristics it easily responds to temperature changes, making this ceramic an excellent choice for wafer tray supports and paddles in semiconductor furnaces as well as resistance heating elements in electric furnaces - such as thermistors and varistors for electric furnaces.
Long Lifespan

Silicon Carbide ceramics are known for being highly resilient and able to withstand extreme temperatures, making it perfect for equipment components that must withstand such elements such as mechanical seals, wear plates and bearings. Furthermore, their corrosion-resistance makes them highly sought-after as refractory ceramics ideal for semiconductor manufacturing and general industrial machinery parts like mechanical seals, wear plates and bearings.

Silicon carbide stands out among its competition thanks to its impressive durability and insoluble acid resistance, making it ideal for environments requiring robust materials. Due to its resistance against acid attack and corrosion at high temperature, silicon carbide makes an excellent choice for lining corrosive chemical processing equipment such as agitators, reactors, valves and other parts exposed to intense pressure or chemical concentration.

Silicon carbide is ideal for applications requiring erosion and abrasive resistance, making it popular as a material choice in spray nozzles, shot blast nozzles and ceramic tubing due to its excellent combination of good abrasive resistance and thermal conductivity that aid in efficient heat dissipation.
High Thermal Conductivity

Silicon carbide is an inert material, non-reactive with strong acids and capable of withstanding high temperatures - qualities which make it an excellent choice for components designed to perform in harsh environments.

This material is ideal for applications that involve rapid thermal stresses, such as furnace components or refractory linings, due to its low coefficient of thermal expansion and high thermal conductivity.

Silicon carbide tubes are an ideal choice for use across a range of industries. Their versatile properties make them useful in protecting equipment against corrosion and wear, helping businesses reduce maintenance costs while increasing equipment lifespans. Silicon carbide also boasts hardness comparable to diamond and an impressive flexural strength of 440 MPa - this makes it one of the hardest materials known and thus allows it to withstand shocks that would otherwise damage or destroy other materials.
