Unmatched Durability With Silicon Carbide Tube

Silicon carbide tubes are one of the unsung heroes of industrial ceramics, standing firm against high temperatures and chemical contamination. Hexoloy alpha SiC stands as one of the hardest synthetic materials with a Mohs hardness rating of 9.

Modern ceramic and metal alloy materials offer greater durability and adaptability compared to their predecessors, helping companies meet their sustainability goals while cutting maintenance costs.

High Temperature Resistance

Silicon carbide tube is an advanced ceramic material designed to withstand high temperatures while remaining extremely durable, making it suitable for applications including industrial furnaces, thermocouple protection tubes and other refractory components.

Refractory material made of ceramic fiber is well suited for applications requiring resistance against abrasion, chemical corrosion and thermal shock. Furthermore, it’s among the lightest available and boasts a Young’s modulus higher than diamond’s; this allows it to provide superior flexing strength at elevated temperatures with low thermal expansion rates as well as resistance against chemical attack.

Kerui offers both reaction bonded and sintered silicon carbide ceramic tubes designed to perform in various demanding conditions, from metallurgical furnace bells to glass kiln shelves. Our engineers are always happy to assist in selecting the optimal ceramic for any specific use or application.

High Strength

Silicon carbide (SiC) tubes are highly sought-after components, thanks to their hardness, thermal stability and resistance to wear and corrosion. As such, these SiC tubes enable industrial systems to experience enhanced performance, efficiency and cost savings.

They possess incredible strength that surpasses traditional ceramics and metal alloys, making them suitable for harsh environments prone to erosion or abrasion. Furthermore, these composite materials can withstand temperatures without suffering degradation or cracking – ideal for use in harsh conditions that experience frequent abrasion or erosion.

Thermocouple protection tubes made from SiC are available both as reaction bonded and sintered ceramics, each producing different results. Reaction bonded SiC ceramics are produced by infiltrating compacts of mixtures of SiC and carbon with liquid silicon, while sintered ones use conventional ceramic production techniques like casting, dry press pressing or isostatic pressing to produce their ceramic form. Both forms are highly durable yet reaction bonded ones may offer additional uses such as being immersed directly into molten metals like aluminium or copper directly.

High Corrosion Resistance

Silicon carbide stands up well against corrosion in an array of environments, outperforming ceramics and ductile metals in tough situations. Corrosion resistance is determined by surface and microstructural changes, competing chemical reactions and mass transport mechanisms, as well as changes to material morphologies.

SiC is known to withstand harsh chemical environments like coal slags and sludges without degrading chemically or physically, making it ideal for components that need to be resistant to physical abrasion such as shot blast nozzles, ceramic seals and cyclone separators.

Kerui offers sintered and reaction-bonded silicon carbide tube in multiple sizes for use in high pressure applications. Each of our tubes are hydrotested up to 165-186 bar for added assurance in meeting even the most rigorous demands.

Long Lifespan

Silicon carbide’s durability and longevity make it a desirable component for industrial applications that demand long-term reliability, such as mining equipment, aerospace engine nozzles and cladding for molten metal furnaces. Furthermore, its chemical resistance and mechanical strength enable it to withstand pressure or bending stresses found in mechanical seals bearings or pump components – qualities which ensure it functions reliably under any circumstance.

Hexoloy sintered silicon carbide thermocouple protection tubes offer superior electrical properties combined with durability, refractoriness and corrosion/oxidation resistance of silicon carbide material, low coefficient of thermal expansion rates, low creep resistance at elevated temperatures and exceptional creep resistance – making them the perfect solution for tunnel kilns, shuttle and roller kilns, fuel gas/oil industry furnaces as well as load bearing components in power plants while meeting energy efficiency and performance goals while remaining safe working environments. This makes them an excellent option in tunnel kilns where high energy efficiency goals must be achieved while remaining safe working environments are maintained while energy efficiency and operational performance goals must be met while remaining safe working environments are maintained while power plants achieve higher energy efficiency and operational performance while creating safe working environments.
