Superior Performance With Silicon Carbide Tube

Silicon Carbide tubes are high-performance components used in numerous demanding applications. Their properties include excellent hardness, thermal stability and resistance to wear, corrosion and abrasion.

Direct sintered SiC ceramics boast excellent thermal shock resistance and low thermal expansion coefficient, making them more suitable for abrasive applications than cobalt-bonded tungsten carbide in demanding environments.

Hardness

Kerui silicon carbide tubes feature superior hardness, electrical conductivity, corrosion and wear resistance as well as exceptional high temperature durability for use in demanding industrial applications.

This unique ceramic is composed of tetrahedral structures of silicon and carbon atoms bonded tightly by strong covalent bonds in its crystal lattice, giving rise to its remarkable hardness – it surpasses diamond in hardness while boasting three times greater wear resistance than cast iron.

Silicon carbide is an increasingly popular material for heat exchangers in chemical process industries due to its ability to withstand high temperatures and harsh environments, and is also found in general industrial machine components, including seals and pump parts.

Low thermal expansion and Young’s modulus exceeding 400 GPa ensure excellent mechanical properties and ensure dimensional stability, including its Young’s modulus of over 400 GPa for excellent mechanical properties. Furthermore, its resistance to abrasion and corrosion surpasses that of tungsten carbide, making it an excellent material choice for vacuum chucks, chemical mechanical polishing blocks, wafer carriers and vacuum bearings.

Corrosion Resistance

Silicon carbide is highly resistant to corrosion, oxidation and erosion in many chemical environments. Due to its superior strength and durability, silicon carbide makes an ideal material choice for thrust and journal bearing components at high temperatures with its Young’s modulus exceeding 400 GPa providing exceptional dimensional stability.

Low thermal expansion coefficient, high mechanical strength and long service life make these tubes an excellent choice for heat exchangers in metal smelting and chemical processing applications, as well as for radiant tubes in carburizing, nitriding and annealing furnaces.

Sintered SiC is widely utilized as an integral component in composite armor protection systems. Thanks to its superior strength and toughness, Sintered SiC can withstand impacts from high velocity projectiles without cracking under their impact, providing an effective alternative to steel armor which may succumb to corrosion and wear and tear over time. Indeed, SiC stands as one of the hardest materials on Earth (surpassed only by diamond and boron carbide).

High Temperature Resistance

Silicon carbide’s unique lattice structure, composed of bonds between carbon tetrahedrons and silicon atoms, enables it to provide significant hardness, mechanical strength, low thermal expansion, inertness and corrosion resistance – properties which make it a highly sought-after material in heat exchangers and other high-temperature applications.

SSiC ceramic tubes are highly resistant to abrasion, increasing its longevity. Maintenance costs are lower thanks to its superior chemical and mechanical strength compared with traditional tubes.

These characteristics make SSiC ceramic materials indispensable components in various high-temperature equipment, including medium frequency forging, electric furnaces in steel industry and nonferrous metal smelting industries, kiln furnaces and thermocouple protectors. Furthermore, its resistance to harsh environments, high temperatures, chemical attack and thermal shock make SSiC ceramic materials suitable for industrial furnaces while its excellent thermal conductivity ensures its efficiency and ensures their reliability.

High Wear Resistance

SSiC ceramic is one of the strongest, lightest and hardest industrial materials. With exceptional strength, weight and corrosion resistance – not to mention excellent abrasion resistance and low coefficient of friction between mating materials – SSiC stands out as an ideal material choice for pump seals, nozzles, valves or anything involving energy loss or wear. It boasts exceptional chemical attack resistance at even high temperatures; making SSiC perfect for harsh chemical environments and long lifespan applications such as pump seals.
