Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: How does the reaction bonding process influence the tube's performance during thermal cycling?
A1: The reaction bonding process creates a uniform microstructure that minimises internal stress and sustains dimensional integrity during thermal cycling. This consistency helps the tube operate reliably at temperatures up to 1300 ℃, reducing the risk of deformation.

Q2: What dimensional tolerances are maintained for the 40 mm tube?
A2: Tight dimensional tolerances are achieved through precision machining and in-line measurement systems, ensuring that the tube’s 40 mm outer diameter consistently meets standardised requirements for integration into industrial systems.

Q3: How is the material purity verified during manufacturing?
A3: Purity is verified using analytical techniques such as X-ray fluorescence and spectrometric analysis. These tests confirm that the silicon carbide meets or exceeds the established ≥92% purity specification during each production phase.

Additional Information

Silicon carbide is a ceramic known for its ability to withstand high temperatures and resist oxidation, making it essential in environments that experience significant thermal fluctuations.
