SC9893 Silicon Nitride Bonded Silicon Carbide Beam SNBC Beam 110 x 110 mm

Silicon Nitride Bonded Silicon Carbide Beam SNBC Beam 110 x 110 mm Description

Silicon Nitride Bonded Silicon Carbide Beam SNBC Beam 110 x 110 mm is a precision-engineered ceramic component composed of a silicon nitride matrix bonded with silicon carbide particles. Its uniform 110 x 110 mm dimensions ensure compatibility with standard industrial fixtures and contribute to consistent performance in high-temperature environments up to 1450 °C. The thermal conductivity of 15 W/(m·k) supports effective heat dissipation, while the high density (≥2.7 g/cm³) enhances its mechanical strength under load.

Silicon Nitride Bonded Silicon Carbide Beam SNBC Beam 110 x 110 mm Packing

The beams are individually wrapped in an inert, anti-static material and cushioned with foam inserts to prevent physical damage. They are then placed in moisture-resistant containers for transportation. Storage should be in a controlled environment, free of abrupt temperature changes and contaminants. Custom packaging options, including tailored compartmentalisation and labelling, are available upon request to suit specific handling requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: How does the bonding process affect the performance of the SNBC beam in high-temperature applications?
A1: The bonding process optimises the interface between silicon nitride and silicon carbide, maintaining structural integrity and thermal conductivity at elevated temperatures. Quality control using SEM and microanalysis confirms consistent phase distribution, which is essential for maintaining performance in demanding environments.

Q2: What handling precautions are necessary during installation of the 110 x 110 mm beam?
A2: During installation, use padded gloves to prevent mechanical impact and avoid thermal shocks. It is recommended to verify dimensions with calibrated gauges to ensure proper fit and alignment within high-temperature assemblies.

Q3: Can the beam be customised in other dimensions?
A3: Customisation of beam dimensions is available based on production trial feasibility. Adjustments are made using calibrated sintering cycles and precise machining, ensuring that any variations still meet the stringent thermal and mechanical performance criteria.

Additional Information

Ceramic composites combining silicon nitride and silicon carbide provide a balance of high-temperature stability and mechanical strength. The use of these materials in structural components is well documented in environments demanding thermal resistance and minimal thermal expansion. Understanding the composite behaviour under thermal cycling is essential for many industrial applications.

Advances in ceramic processing have allowed for enhanced control over microstructural characteristics, such as grain size and phase composition. This technical precision is critical when evaluating performance in applications like high-temperature furnaces, heat sinks, and other engineering systems where reliability and dimensional accuracy are paramount.
