Silicon Carbide Inserts Description
Silicon carbide is a suitable material for pump inserts. Silicon carbide inserts meet measured corrosion resistance requirements, maintain high mechanical strength at elevated temperatures and exhibit confirmed wear resistance. We supply silicon carbide inserts in various sizes and other SiC components.
Silicon carbide inserts demonstrate documented mechanical performance. Carbon-impregnated silicon carbide materials enhance self-lubrication effectively. Stanford Advanced Materials supplies silicon carbide inserts produced by sintering and reaction bonding, thereby satisfying the diverse technical requirements of our customers. We offer both flat silicon carbide inserts and customised silicon carbide inserts with complex geometries.
