Technical ceramics find applications in areas where metallic materials operate at the limits of their performance capabilities. These are primarily applications where the material is subjected to high temperature and friction stresses. Silicon carbide significantly improves the properties of the systems in which it is found.
Silicon carbide is one of the highest quality ceramic materials, characterized by high hardness, excellent abrasion resistance in abrasive environments, chemical resistance, low thermal expansion, corrosion resistance, high temperature resistance, low specific gravity, excellent sliding properties and impermeability to gases and liquids.
The unique method of silicon carbide production technology allows the production of more complex shapes compared to other ceramics. Silicon carbide products can be used in a variety of industries where higher demands are placed on operation.
