SC9978 Reaction Bonded Silicon Carbide Tube OD. 80 mm

Reaction Bonded Silicon Carbide Tube OD. 80 mm Description

Reaction Bonded Silicon Carbide Tube OD. 80 mm is fabricated from high-purity SiC, achieving a minimum of 92% material composition and a density of approximately 2.8 g/cm³. The tube’s 80 mm outer diameter supports rigorous operational conditions up to 1300 ℃. Its ceramic structure exhibits high thermal stability and chemical inertness, making it applicable in environments that demand predictable mechanical performance and resistance to thermal shock.

Reaction Bonded Silicon Carbide Tube OD. 80 mm Applications

1.       Industrial Processing
   - Used as a containment tube in high-temperature furnaces to achieve uniform heat distribution by leveraging its stable density and thermal resistance.
   - Applied as a liner in thermal reactors to control reaction environments by taking advantage of its consistent SiC composition.

2.       Electronics Manufacturing
   - Serves as a component in semiconductor processing systems to maintain process integrity under elevated temperatures by using its high operating temperature capability.
   - Implemented as a structural element in high-temperature processing equipment to minimise contamination through chemically inert surfaces.

Reaction Bonded Silicon Carbide Tube OD. 80 mm Packing

The tube is individually encased in a cushioned, anti-static foam package within a rigid cardboard box to mitigate mechanical shocks during transport. It is stored in a clean, low-humidity environment to maintain its ceramic integrity. Packaging options can be customised with additional moisture barrier bags and clear labelling per customer requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: How does the reaction bonding process affect the tube’s performance at high temperatures?
A1: The reaction bonding process ensures a uniform microstructure that enhances thermal stability, allowing the tube to reliably withstand operating temperatures up to 1300 ℃ without significant degradation.

Q2: What tolerances are maintained in the tube’s dimensions during manufacturing?
A2: Dimensional tolerances are strictly observed through optical measurements and precision machining, ensuring the OD remains consistently at 80 mm to meet integration requirements in temperature-critical systems.

Q3: Are there any special handling considerations for the SiC tube?
A3: Due to its ceramic nature, it is advisable to handle the tube with care using soft, non-abrasive equipment and to store it in a controlled environment free from mechanical vibrations and contaminants.

Additional Information

Silicon Carbide (SiC) is widely recognised in advanced ceramics for its excellent thermal shock resistance and chemical inertness. The underlying properties of SiC make it indispensable in high-temperature industrial processes, where predictable performance under thermal and mechanical stress is critical.

The use of reaction bonding in ceramic fabrication contributes to a homogenised material structure, reducing internal stresses while supporting dimensional stability. This manufacturing approach underpins many modern applications requiring durability in extreme environments, solidifying SiC’s role in high-performance ceramics.
