silicon carbide ceramics

Precision-engineered from pressureless sintered (SSiC) and reaction-bonded (RBSiC) silicon carbide, these industrial structural ceramics deliver extreme diamond-like hardness (HV > 2500), superior thermal conductivity (up to 130 W/(m·K)), and exceptional dimensional stability up to 1600°C. Engineered specifically for hostile industrial environments characterized by aggressive chemical attack, extreme abrasion, and high thermal shock, our components provide extended operational life for mechanical seals, semiconductor wafer chucks, and heavy-duty slurry nozzles. Full custom CNC diamond grinding available with tolerances down to ±0.002 mm.

Product Description

Silicon carbide nozzle and wear-resistant parts Silicon carbide disc with precision-machined holes

 

Core Advantages & Key Features

  • Near-Diamond Micro-Hardness & Wear Resistance: Achieves a Vickers hardness exceeding 2500 HV (Mohs 9.5), outperforming tungsten carbide and providing exceptional erosion resistance against abrasive slurries and high-velocity particulate impingement.

  • Superior Thermal Conductivity & Low Thermal Expansion: Delivers high thermal conductivity of 110–130 W/(m·K) combined with a low coefficient of thermal expansion (4.0 × 10⁻⁶/K), preventing thermal shock fracturing and maintaining micron-level dimensional stability.

  • Extreme Chemical Inertness Across pH 0–14: Completely impermeable and chemically inert to aggressive mineral acids, hot caustic solutions, and molten halides, preventing chemical pitting and intergranular leaching.

  • High-Temperature Structural Integrity up to 1600°C: Exhibits virtually no strength degradation or creep deformation under load in air at temperatures up to 1400°C (up to 1600°C in inert environments), far exceeding conventional technical ceramics.Ceramic injection molding workshop at Artec factory Kiln firing ceramic parts at high temperature

Industrial Applications

  • Mechanical Seals & Dynamic Bushings: Face seals, thrust bearings, and journal bushings in petrochemical refineries, centrifugal pumps, and chemical agitators, preventing catastrophic seal runaway in volatile or slurry-laden media.

  • Semiconductor Wafer Processing & Lithography: High-purity structural components, electrostatic chuck (ESC) baseplates, vacuum end effectors, and lithography mirror substrates requiring ultra-low thermal drift, high specific stiffness, and plasma resistance.

  • Flue Gas Desulfurization (FGD) & Wear Components: Heavy-duty swirl nozzles, hydrocyclone lining cones, and sandblast venturi orifices exposed to severe cavitation, acidic slurry turbulence, and dry particle erosion.

  • High-Temperature Kiln Furniture & Heat Exchangers: High-load structural beams, burner nozzles, rollers, and tubular ceramic heat exchanger arrays operating continuously in oxidizing or reducing furnace atmospheres up to 1400°C.
