SC9894 Silicon Nitride Bonded Silicon Carbide Basin Setter SNBC Setter

Silicon Nitride Bonded Silicon Carbide Basin Setter SNBC Setter Description

Silicon Nitride Bonded Silicon Carbide Basin Setter SNBC Setter consists of a composite ceramic where a silicon nitride phase bonds with silicon carbide particles. The binder phase contributes to structural integrity whilst the reinforcement enhances hardness and thermal stability. The product is available in customised dimensions to fit specific basin setups. Its thermal conductivity of 15 W/(m·k) supports efficient heat dissipation, and its capability to operate at temperatures up to ≤1450 ℃ makes it suitable for high-temperature industrial environments.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: What installation considerations arise due to the product's operating temperature?
A1: With an operating temperature of ≤1450 ℃, care must be taken to address thermal expansion and interface adhesion in high-temperature installations. Evaluating the compatibility of adjacent materials and incorporating thermal stress mitigation measures are advisable for optimal performance.

Q2: Can the product dimensions be customised for different basin setups?
A2: Yes, the product is available with customised dimensions. Detailed technical drawings and tolerance specifications can be provided, enabling precise integration into various industrial configurations and ensuring optimal fit and performance.

Q3: How does a density of ≥2.7 g/cm³ influence its behaviour during thermal cycling?
A3: A density of ≥2.7 g/cm³ enhances structural stability and minimises the risk of microcracking during thermal cycling. The uniform density contributes to predictable thermal expansion and improved resistance to mechanical stresses over repeated temperature fluctuations.

Additional Information

Silicon nitride and silicon carbide are well-established ceramic materials known for their resistance to thermal shock and mechanical wear. Their integration into composite systems leverages the toughness of silicon nitride and the hardness of silicon carbide, making such materials suitable for high-temperature and high-stress environments. The combination is subject to critical evaluation during sintering to balance density, grain size, and intergranular bonding.

In materials science, composite ceramics are continuously refined to meet stringent industrial demands. Emphasis is placed on optimising sintering cycles, binder compositions, and microstructural controls to enhance performance properties. These factors ensure that ceramic components, including basin setters, maintain their structural integrity and thermal performance under challenging operational conditions.
