SC4671 Sintered Silicon Carbide Ring (SSiC)

Sintered Silicon Carbide Ring (SSiC) Description

Sintered Silicon Carbide Ring (SSiC) is a lightweight product with high hardness and strength comparable to diamond. All components are held together by a snap ring in a unit construction and can be repaired easily on-site. It has features of excellent corrosion resistance, high coefficient of heat conductivity, self-lubricity, low density, and high hardness. The fine particles α-SiC and additives are processed to form granulation powder and then pressed into blank. Through the control of the sintering temperature, the α-SiC crystal is grown in a vacuum sintering furnace at 2100℃ to form a high-purity and high-density silicon carbide material.

Sintered Silicon Carbide Ring (SSiC) FAQs

Q1: How are sintered silicon carbide rings produced?

A: Sintered silicon carbide rings are produced by pressing silicon carbide powder into a ring shape and then heating it in a sintering furnace. The process may involve pressureless sintering, hot pressing, or hot isostatic pressing to achieve the desired density and mechanical properties.

Q2: What are the advantages of sintered silicon carbide rings compared to rings made from other materials?

A: Sintered silicon carbide rings offer superior wear resistance, lower thermal expansion, higher thermal conductivity, and better chemical resistance compared to rings made from materials such as tungsten carbide, alumina, or graphite.

Q3: How is the quality of sintered silicon carbide rings verified?

A: Quality is verified using techniques such as scanning electron microscopy (SEM) for microstructure analysis, mechanical testing for strength and hardness, and thermal conductivity measurements. Dimensional accuracy and surface finish are also inspected.
