Silicon carbide ceramics are a material almost born for "extreme environments". Their high hardness, high thermal conductivity, low thermal expansion, excellent chemical inertness and high-temperature strength make them irreplaceable in the fields of wear resistance, corrosion resistance, high temperature and thermal management.
From the kiln rollers that support the sintering and crystallization of lithium batteries in our mobile phones, to the silicon carbide power chips that protect the core electric drives of new energy vehicles, and even to the first wall of nuclear fusion reactors that may light up humanity in the future, silicon carbide ceramics are everywhere. They are truly "industrial teeth" and "material pioneers". When making a selection, it is essential to match the most suitable type and process of silicon carbide according to specific working conditions (temperature, corrosion, stress, precision).
