Silicon Carbide Batts are high-load, high-temperature kiln furniture components designed to withstand extreme thermal cycles, mechanical stress, and corrosive kiln atmospheres. Used widely in ceramic tile, sanitaryware, refractory, advanced ceramics, and metallurgical industries, silicon carbide batts provide superior thermal shock resistance, oxidation resistance, and structural integrity compared to conventional cordierite or mullite kiln shelves.
Silcarb manufactures silicon carbide batts in Nitride Bonded (NBSIC), Reaction Bonded (RBSIC/SISIC), Recrystallized (RSIC), and Oxide Bonded (OBSIC) grades depending on the temperature, load, and firing cycle requirements. These batts are engineered to reduce thermal mass, improve kiln energy efficiency, and extend service life in both continuous and intermittent kiln operations.
New batch of close to zero warp(bend) oxide bonded silicon carbide batts/plates unloaded from our OBSIC kiln for supply to California. The batts/plates manufactured are usually manufactured by a high tonnage multi-axis Vibro hydraulic press. These plates manufactured with the highest quality black silicon carbide with an in-depth understanding of the grain size distribution over the thermal and mechanical properties of the products we make.
Why Silicon Carbide Batts Outperform Conventional Kiln Shelves
Traditional kiln shelves made from cordierite or mullite-based ceramics often suffer from:
Silicon Carbide Batts, by contrast, offer:
This results in improved firing consistency, reduced downtime, and lower total operating cost per cycle.
Silicon carbide batts are widely used in:
Their ability to carry heavy loads at temperatures up to 1650°C makes them suitable for both tunnel kilns and shuttle kilns.
Silcarb manufactures silicon carbide batts using advanced forming processes such as:
All products undergo controlled drying and high-temperature firing in precision kilns to ensure structural integrity, uniform grain distribution, and consistent mechanical performance. Each batch is subjected to dimensional inspection and quality verification before dispatch.
Silcarb can manufacture silicon carbide batts in:
