Silicon carbide (SiC) is a lightweight ceramic material with high strength properties comparable to diamond. It has excellent thermal conductivity, low thermal expansion, and is resistant to corrosion from acids. Silicon carbide is an excellent ceramic material for applications requiring good erosion and abrasive resistance.

SiC shaft rod properties:

a. high temperature strength
b. superior thermal shock resistance
c. excellent wear resistance
d. good fracture toughness
e. mechanical fatigue and creep resistance
f. Excellent non-wetting property with good oxidation resistance

Applications

It is widely used in the production of aluminum, copper and zinc , as the lining material of the molten pool and electrolytic bath (reduction bath).
