Silicon carbide ceramics (SiC) Silicon carbide ceramics are a kind of high hardness, low density, high temperature resistance, corrosion resistance, low wear, low thermal expansion, low thermal conductivity, and other excellent functional materials, so their application fields are very wide. Common applications include:
Aerospace: Silicon carbide ceramics are widely used in high temperature parts such as aircraft engine nozzles, sprayers, etc. that must withstand very high temperatures and pressures. It is also used in the manufacture of fatigue-resistant structural parts of aircraft wings and high temperature parts used in satellites.
Machinery manufacturing: Silicon carbide ceramics have high hardness and excellent wear resistance, and are used in precision machining, high-speed cutting, grinding, etc. Heat resistance. Widely used in the field. In these industries, silicon carbide ceramics are used to manufacture important parts such as carbide cutting tools, bearings, rollers, and roller seats.
Semiconductor industry: Silicon carbide ceramics are used in the production of ceramic parts such as rollers and pressure plates for solar panels, and are also used in the manufacture of sliding bearings, vacuum clamps, gaskets, and other parts. .
Other industries: Silicon carbide ceramics are also used in various industries, such as petrochemical industry, iron and steel metallurgy, power construction, and nuclear energy. For example, in the petroleum industry, there are wear-resistant and corrosion-resistant oil pump parts, and in the power industry, there are heat-resistant and corrosion-resistant parts.
Bulletproof materials: Due to the high hardness and excellent protection properties of silicon carbide ceramics, they have been used in bulletproof armor, especially in situations where light weight, low cost, and strong protection are required.
Processing: Silicon carbide ceramics have high hardness and strength, so they are used to make cutting tools, blades, bearings, and other key parts for machining, which improves production efficiency and manufacturing precision.
Chemical and medical fields: Silicon carbide ceramics have excellent corrosion resistance and electrical insulation properties, so they are used in equipment such as chemical filtration, heating, and distillation, and medical devices such as artificial joints.
Energy fields: Because silicon carbide ceramics have both excellent electrical insulation properties and energy efficiency, they play an important role in new energy equipment such as solar panels, generator insulation pads, electric heating connectors, and alumina valves. They can withstand high temperatures and pressures.
