SC9975 Reaction Bonded Silicon Carbide Tube OD. 60 mm

Reaction Bonded Silicon Carbide Tube OD. 60 mm Description

Reaction Bonded Silicon Carbide Tube OD. 60 mm is a ceramic component composed of SiC manufactured via a reaction bonding process. This process yields a controlled microstructure that improves thermal stability and mechanical performance at operating temperatures up to 1 300 ℃. The OD dimension of 60 mm ensures compatibility with industrial systems requiring precise tube dimensions, while its ≥92% purity and density of ~3.0 g/cm³ offer predictable performance in heat-intensive and corrosive conditions.

Reaction Bonded Silicon Carbide Tube OD. 60 mm Applications

Industrial Processing
- Used as a refractory liner in chemical reactors to achieve stable thermal profiles by employing its high-temperature resistance.
- Applied as a wear-resistant guide in material handling systems to address abrasive environments by utilising its chemical inertness.

High-Temperature Equipment
- Employed as a support tube in heat treatment furnaces to maintain dimensional integrity under elevated temperatures by employing its controlled reaction bonded structure.

Reaction Bonded Silicon Carbide Tube OD. 60 mm Packing

The tubes are packed in cushioned, anti-static containers with foam inserts to protect against mechanical shocks. They are sealed in moisture-resistant poly bags and stored at controlled ambient temperatures to prevent contamination. Packaging includes labelling with material specifications and handling instructions. Custom packaging options, including additional compartmentalisation and tailored container dimensions, are available to meet specific logistical requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: How does the reaction bonding process affect the microstructure stability of the tube?
A1: The reaction bonding process forms a continuous SiC network that minimises microcracks. Quality control measures such as SEM imaging are used to monitor the uniformity of the microstructure, contributing to stable performance in high-temperature environments.

Q2: What are the recommended storage and handling procedures for silicon carbide tubes?
A2: The tubes should be stored in a dry, temperature-controlled environment to prevent moisture absorption and thermal degradation. Handling procedures include using cushioned supports and anti-static measures to reduce the risk of surface damage and microstructural defects.

Q3: Can the tube dimensions or specifications be customised to meet specific application requirements?
A3: Customisation options, including dimensional adjustments and tailored material composition, are available. Customers are encouraged to discuss specific engineering requirements with SAM to develop a product that meets precise operational needs.

Additional Information

Silicon carbide is valued in the ceramics industry for its high thermal conductivity, chemical inertness, and resistance to thermal shock. The reaction bonding process enhances these properties by ensuring a controlled microstructure that supports high-temperature and corrosive applications. Such attributes make SiC components essential in industries where performance under extreme conditions is critical.

Understanding the underlying material science of reaction bonded silicon carbide aids in predicting its behaviour under thermal and mechanical stresses. Research in SiC ceramics continues to evolve, with improvements in processing techniques contributing to more precise control over material properties, further expanding its usage in demanding industrial settings.
