SC9936 Recrystallized Silicon Carbide Structural Part

Recrystallized Silicon Carbide Structural Part Description

Recrystallized Silicon Carbide Structural Part is a ceramic material based on SiC with a minimum purity of 99% and a density around 2.7 g/cm³. Its customisable form factors facilitate integration into a range of structural assemblies. With an operating temperature up to 1650 ℃, the material maintains dimensional stability and thermal resistance under high-temperature conditions. The controlled recrystallisation process minimises defects, contributing to enhanced mechanical properties for demanding applications.

Recrystallized Silicon Carbide Structural Part Applications

1.       Industrial Applications
   - Used as a load-bearing component in high-temperature furnace assemblies to maintain structural integrity by leveraging SiC’s stable mechanical properties.
   - Applied as a wear-resistant element in processing equipment to achieve sustained performance under cyclic thermal stress through its inherent thermal stability.

2.       Aerospace Applications
   - Employed as a structural element in engine components to minimise thermal expansion effects by capitalising on SiC’s high temperature resistance.
   - Utilised in turbine systems to manage thermal stress and maintain dimensional accuracy, benefiting from the material’s controlled composition and recrystallised microstructure.

Recrystallized Silicon Carbide Structural Part Packing

The part is packaged in moisture-resistant, anti-static containers with foam inserts to cushion mechanical shocks. Inert gas fills limit contamination, and the packaging supports secure handling during transit. Storage in a dry, temperature-controlled environment is recommended to preserve material integrity. Custom packaging configurations are available to accommodate specific dimensional or shipping requirements while ensuring protection from environmental factors.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: What processing method ensures the high purity of the SiC material?
A1: The part undergoes controlled sintering in an inert atmosphere combined with detailed microstructural analysis. These steps minimise residual impurities and porosity, thereby ensuring the material maintains a minimum purity of 99% essential for high-temperature structural applications.

Q2: How does the customisation of dimensions benefit practical integration?
A2: Customisable form and dimensions allow the part to conform to varied design specifications in structural assemblies. This flexibility reduces the need for additional modifications, leading to more efficient integration in existing and new systems where space and load distribution are critical.

Q3: What operational considerations are important for temperatures near 1650 ℃?
A3: When operating near 1650 ℃, it is critical to manage thermal gradients and employ adequate cooling mechanisms. Detailed thermal stress analyses and monitoring are advised to ensure the part maintains its dimensional stability and structural performance under extreme temperature conditions.

Additional Information

Silicon carbide ceramics are extensively studied due to their chemical inertness, high thermal conductivity, and low thermal expansion properties. These attributes support performance in environments with high thermal stress and rapid temperature changes. The recrystallisation process further refines the microstructure, reducing defects that might compromise mechanical strength in demanding applications.

Advancements in ceramic processing techniques continue to enhance the reliability of SiC-based components for industrial and aerospace applications. The ongoing research in controlled sintering and recrystallisation provides valuable insights into optimising thermal behaviour and structural integrity, supporting informed material selection and engineering design decisions.
