High-Temperature Resistance With Silicon Carbide Tube
Silicon Carbide (SiC) is an excellent high-grade refractory material, boasting superior strength, abrasion resistance, chemical resistance, thermal stability and corrosion protection up to 1600degC.
Production methods include sintered sintering, reaction bonding and recrystallization. Applications include high-temperature kiln components like combustion nozzles and ceramic lining.
High Resistance to Corrosion
Silicon carbide ceramic material has proven itself to be highly resistant to corrosion at elevated temperatures, making it the perfect choice for use in harsh environments such as oil drilling. Furthermore, this ceramic material boasts excellent mechanical strength, which enables it to withstand extreme stresses and impacts with great resilience - qualities which make it popularly utilized by various industries including oil drilling.
SSiC ceramic tubes' low thermal expansion aids their dimensional stability under high-temperature applications, as well as offering chemical resistance that makes them an excellent choice for use in shell and tube heat exchangers in industrial settings.
Hexoloy products are produced through pressureless sintering of submicron SiC powder using an extrusion process, producing self-bonded fine-grained products with excellent surface finish and tight dimensional control. As-fired parts have low porosity and require little to no post-fire machining - an ideal production method suitable for creating various structural parts including furnace tubes, inert gas pipes and thermocouple protectors.
High Resistance to Heat
Silicon carbide, more commonly referred to as carborundum, is an inorganic semiconductor compound of carbon and silicon with impressive mechanical and thermal properties. With high fracture toughness (6.8 MPa m0.5) and Young's modulus (490 GPa), this material boasts exceptional strength and durability; additionally its hardness of 32 GPa places it amongst some of the hardest synthetic materials - only diamond and boron carbide surpass it!
Chemical resistance enables it to withstand hostile environments and extreme temperatures without degrading, making it an incredibly long-lived material, suitable for power plants and aerospace applications. This makes it an incredibly durable choice that remains performing even after prolonged usage. This makes it highly suitable for long-term power plant and aerospace use.
Sintered silicon carbide has also found use as part of composite armor protection systems, where it provides exceptional ballistic capabilities against high velocity projectiles. Furthermore, its combination of flexural strength, compressive strength and elastic modulus enhance its defensive capabilities further. Due to these qualities silicon carbide furnace linings can also be found in medium frequency electric furnace forging machines, non-ferrous metal smelters, and metallurgical sintering furnaces - providing extra layers of protection from projectile attacks.
High Resistance to Chemical Attack
Silicon carbide is chemically resistant, offering durability in harsh environments and protecting functionality and safety in demanding applications. This makes silicon carbide an excellent material choice when operating under extreme conditions that could otherwise compromise functionality or safety.
OBSIC Tube is highly resilient to mechanical stress, making it the ideal material choice for applications requiring high strength and longevity. OBSIC features hardness comparable to diamond, which enables it to withstand intense pressure without giving way or deforming significantly under intense pressure. Furthermore, its low thermal expansion rates facilitate stability even in demanding environments.
High Resistance to Wear
Silicon carbide is an extremely strong and resilient ceramic material with impressive fracture toughness of 6.8 MPa m0.5 and impressive flexural strength of 490 MPa; both impressive figures that demonstrate its resilience.
Plastic is highly resistant to abrasive wear, making it an excellent replacement material in demanding environments such as harsh temperatures or chemical attacks. Furthermore, its resilience means it is often used as an effective replacement for metal parts in such settings. Additionally, it can withstand temperatures as high as 140 F as well as thermal shock, chemical attack and physical impacts without showing signs of degradation.
Sintered nitride-bonded silicon carbide shows the lowest wear intensity among all tested materials, nearly nine times lower than that of special steels intended for working parts in soil mass work, and 1.2 times less intensive than that of padlock steel with a temper martensite structure XAR 600 and padding weld based on F-61 padlock steel padlocks.
