The hard, wear and high-temperature resistant tribological ceramic
SSiC – Sintered Silicon Carbide | SiSiC - Silicon Infiltrated Silicon Carbide
Silicon carbide exhibits numerous exceptional properties. Its unique potential for various applications is convincing: it is erodible, resistant to wear and corrosion up to the high-temperature range, has high thermal conductivity and is toxicologically harmless. SSiC exhibits impressive temperature shock resistance (ΔT 400K) and maximum use temperatures under protective gas (1,800°C).
