Customised packaging options, such as reinforced inserts and specialised labelling, are available to accommodate customer-specific requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: What are the key mechanical advantages of using a reaction bonding process for this SiC structural part?
A1: The reaction bonding process offers a distinct microstructure that minimises grain coarsening while maintaining precise dimensional control. This results in improved thermal shock resistance and structural stability up to the maximum operating temperature.

Q2: How does SAM ensure consistency during the customisation of these components?
A2: SAM employs controlled processing parameters and advanced inspection techniques, including scanning electron microscopy, to verify microstructural integrity and dimensional tolerances. This systematic approach ensures that each customised component conforms to strict design specifications.

Q3: What operational considerations should be noted when using the component near its temperature limit?
A3: Operating at or below 1300℃ allows the component to maintain its mechanical strength and avoid potential phase changes. Periodic thermal cycle tests are advisable to monitor any long-term variations in material properties due to high-temperature exposure.
