Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: How does the reaction bonding process affect the microstructure of the silicon carbide beam?
A1: The reaction bonding process establishes a continuous SiC network with controlled porosity, promoting stable mechanical properties and high-temperature endurance. Microstructural analysis through electron microscopy confirms uniform bonding, which is critical for maintaining dimensional integrity during thermal cycling.

Q2: What storage conditions are recommended to maintain the beam’s material properties?
A2: It is advisable to store the beam in a temperature-controlled, low-humidity environment. Protective packaging that prevents dust and mechanical impact is essential, as sudden temperature fluctuations or moisture exposure may alter the microstructure and performance.

Q3: Can the beam dimensions or properties be customised for specific applications?
A3: The standard dimensions are 40 x 25 mm; however, customisation may be considered after reviewing the production parameters and ensuring that quality control measures meet the required specifications. Technical evaluation is necessary to tailor modifications without compromising material integrity.

Additional Information
