Precision Machining Ceramics SSIC Silicon Carbide Ceramic
Silicon Carbide has properties remarkably similar to those of diamond – it is one of the lightest, hardest, and strongest technical ceramic materials and has exceptional thermal conductivity, resistance to acids, and low thermal expansion. Silicon Carbide is an excellent material to use when physical wear is an important consideration because it exhibits good erosion and abrasive resistance, making it useful in a variety of applications such as spray nozzles, shot blast nozzles and cyclone components.
Silicon Carbide is a light, extremely hard, and corrosion resistant material which makes it a strong candidate for wear applications in the harshest environments. Silicon Carbide also offers other desirable properties such as excellent thermal conductivity and high young modulus.
