SC9969 Reaction Bonded Silicon Carbide Tube OD. 30 mm

Reaction Bonded Silicon Carbide Tube OD. 30 mm Description

Reaction Bonded Silicon Carbide Tube OD. 30 mm is manufactured using a reaction bonding technique where silicon infiltrates a porous carbon preform, forming a ceramic microstructure of silicon carbide (SiC). With a purity of ≥92% and a density of approximately 3.0 g/cm³, the tube exhibits dimensional stability and thermal endurance up to 1 300 ℃. These features facilitate its use as a structural component in high temperature processing equipment and industrial reactors.

Reaction Bonded Silicon Carbide Tube OD. 30 mm Applications

1.       Industrial Processing
   - Used as a liner in furnace systems to achieve controlled high-temperature conditions by leveraging its thermal stability up to 1 300 ℃.
   - Applied as a conduit in heat treatment reactors to mitigate chemical reaction interference by capitalising on its inert ceramic composition.

2.       Semiconductor Manufacturing
   - Used as a containment tube in processing chambers to attain minimised particulate contamination by leveraging its non-reactive SiC surface.
   - Applied as a structural component in high-temperature deposition systems to achieve uniform thermal distribution by taking advantage of its consistent tube geometry.

Reaction Bonded Silicon Carbide Tube OD. 30 mm Packing

The tubes are packaged in cushioned, anti-static containers with foam inserts to prevent mechanical damage and surface abrasions. Sealed in moisture-controlled bags, the packaging minimises exposure to contaminants during transit and storage. SAM offers customisation such as tailored compartmentalisation and labelling. Proper storage in a dry, temperature-stable environment is recommended to maintain the physical properties of the ceramic material.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: What quality control measures are implemented during the production of these SiC tubes?
A1: SAM uses calibrated metrology, visual inspection, and ultrasonic non-destructive testing to identify internal flaws and verify dimensional accuracy. These measures help track the reaction bonding process and maintain product integrity based on precise industrial standards.

Q2: How does the operating temperature limit impact the application of these tubes?
A2: With an operating limit of ≤1 300 ℃, the tube withstands high thermal loads while maintaining its structure. This allows its use in furnace liners and high-temperature chemical reactors where maintaining ceramic integrity is critical.

Q3: Is it possible to customise the tube dimensions for specific process requirements?
A3: Custom dimensions can be arranged through SAM’s technical consultation process. A feasibility study and dimensional analysis are performed to ensure that modifications meet the required industrial process tolerances.

Additional Information

Silicon carbide (SiC) is valued in materials science due to its high thermal conductivity and chemical inertness. Reaction bonding, a process involving silicon infiltration into carbon preforms, results in SiC components with a controlled microstructure. The process yields ceramic parts that perform well under thermal stress and corrosive environments.

Advancements in reaction bonded SiC have increased its application in high-temperature processing equipment and chemical reactors. Research continues to optimise the bonding technique, aiming to improve mechanical stability and microstructural uniformity for use in applications requiring durable, thermally resilient ceramic materials.
