Silicon Carbide Data

Silicon Carbide is a long lasting, rugged, dependable ceramic material used in many challenging environments. Silicon Carbide retains most of its mechanical strength at elevated temperatures, exhibits very low levels of creep, provides outstanding thermal shock resistance, and combines low density with high mechanical strength (unlike traditional ceramics). This makes it the first choice for load-bearing applications in the range 1300 to 1650°C (2400 to 3000°F).

Our products – including beams, batts, plates and rollers – are made to tight dimensional tolerances and have an excellent load-bearing ability. Additionally, these products offer extreme hardness/abrasion resistance and outstanding chemical stability in aggressive environments.
