High Durability With Silicon Carbide Tube
Silicon carbide materials excel when toughness, strength, and resistance to harsh environments are crucial to industrial processes. Their combination of thermal conductivity, kjemisk treghet, hardness, and wear resistance provides exceptional industrial processes with reliable material choices.
Metalworking, power generation and other industries rely heavily on equipment that offers resistance against high temperature, abrasion, corrosion and oxidation while being long-lived with minimal maintenance needs.
High Corrosion Resistance
Silicon carbide tubes have become popular choice for power generation and other high-temperature industrial processes due to their durability and longevity, facilitating superior heat transfer for improved energy efficiency and decreased carbon footprints.
These tubes can withstand extremely high temperatures while remaining highly resistant to corrosion, corrosion-induced damage and other external sources of aggression. Furthermore, their construction allows them to withstand higher pressure levels without compromise – ideal for applications such as power plants and aerospace engineering.
Reaction sintered silicon carbide ceramic tubes are created from raw material via reaction sintering process and have many desirable qualities, including high strength, high hardness, excellent wear resistance, good oxidation resistance, thermal shock resistance and electrical semi-conductivity. Our reaction sintered tubes can be made into refractory furnace lining, temperature measuring pipe and burner nozzle assemblies, among many other structures with specific dimensions and shapes.
High Strength
Silicon carbide offers unparalleled strength for its weight, making it the ideal material for the rigorous conditions found in oil drilling operations. Furthermore, its resistance to corrosion and wear makes it long-lived even when exposed to aggressive chemicals such as acid.
Silicon carbide’s superior temperature resistance enables it to withstand even extreme heat, while its thermal conductivity surpasses that of graphite and most metals, providing quick and even heat dissipation.
Kerui’s silicon carbide tubes come in various sizes to meet the specific requirements of your applications. Produced using hot pressing, hot isostatic pressing (HIP), and reaction-bonded sintering processes; gas-impermeable and capable of withstanding pressures up to 31 MPa at room temperature.
High Thermal Conductivity
Silicon carbide’s ability to withstand extreme temperatures is one of its hallmark traits, making it an indispensable component in furnace and kiln structures. Furthermore, silicon carbide conducts thermal energy more effectively than graphite or metals ensuring high temperatures dissipate quickly.
Silicon Carbide Tubes are highly gas-impermeable, meaning that even at extremely high temperatures they do not allow any corrosive gases through. This feature makes them essential components in industrial processes like metal smelting, petrochemical refining and aerospace engineering.
Our tubes come either reaction bonded or sintered. Reaction bonded silicon carbide is produced by infiltrating compacts of SiC powder with liquid silicon, while sintered is produced using ceramic forming and sintering techniques that produce homogenous microstructures with reduced porosity and higher density.
High Abrasion Resistance
Silicon Carbide Tubes can withstand extreme temperatures, abrasive environments and chemicals found in power industry applications that demand corrosion and abrasion resistance. Furthermore, they have high strength, thermal conductivity and long lifespan characteristics that make them perfect components to use in power industry environments where corrosion resistance is key.
Nitride-bonded silicon carbide exhibits superior abrasion resistance compared to steel and padding weld in a metal-mineral tribological pair, with less wear experienced under all soil conditions tested than with boron-containing steel.
Corrosive environments can corrode many materials. But silicon carbide has proven its durability by withstanding acid, alkalis and solvent attacks from acids, alkalis, solvents and much more, making it ideal for chemical production, refining, aerospace engineering and many other processes. Furthermore, due to low deformation under stress and temperature variations they’ve become indispensable components in many industrial processes.
Low Maintenance
Silicon Carbide Tubes bring numerous advantages to various industries, from improved performance and reduced operating costs, to their unique combination of durability and adaptability.
Reaction bonded and sintered silicon carbide ceramic tubes find applications in fields including petrochemistry, metallurgy, electric power generation, aerospace and more. Our reaction sintering process creates dense SiC grains through high temperature thermochemical reactions for increased wear resistance in ceramic products with excellent chemical inertness, corrosion resistance and wear-resistance properties.
Reaction-bonded and sintered silicon carbide has an ability to withstand high temperatures and harsh environments, maintaining high density with a low coefficient of thermal expansion and resisting thermal shock well. Furthermore, they offer excellent wear resistance than aluminum oxide seals used for automotive water pump seals – this material even outshines aluminum oxide ones in wear resistance!
