Silicon carbide ceramic plates are critical components used in high-temperature industrial furnaces and thermal processing environments. These plates must withstand extreme temperatures, mechanical loads, and rapid thermal cycling while maintaining dimensional stability and structural integrity.
At Silcarb, oxide bonded and nitride bonded silicon carbide plates are manufactured using advanced ceramic processing techniques and are fired in dedicated in-house nitridation furnaces. These materials are widely used in furnace applications due to their excellent thermal shock resistance, high mechanical strength, and long operational life.
Oxide bonded and nitride bonded silicon carbide plates under firing in our in house nitridation furnaces.
Oxide bonded silicon carbide (OBSiC) plates are produced by bonding silicon carbide grains using oxide phases during high-temperature firing. This material provides a strong and stable ceramic structure suitable for many industrial furnace environments.
Key advantages include:
Oxide bonded silicon carbide plates are commonly used as kiln furniture components, supporting ceramic products during high-temperature firing cycles.
Nitride bonded silicon carbide (NBSiC) is produced through a nitridation process where silicon reacts with nitrogen to form silicon nitride bonding phases within the silicon carbide matrix. This process results in a material with enhanced strength and improved thermal performance.
Key characteristics include:
Nitride bonded silicon carbide plates are particularly suitable for high-temperature furnace applications and demanding industrial environments.
Silcarb manufactures silicon carbide plates using carefully controlled ceramic forming and firing processes. During nitridation, components are processed in specialized high-temperature furnaces where nitrogen reacts with silicon to form strong nitride bonds within the ceramic structure.
This controlled nitridation process ensures:
The use of in-house nitridation furnaces allows Silcarb to maintain strict quality control during the manufacturing process.
Oxide bonded and nitride bonded silicon carbide plates are widely used across multiple high-temperature industries, including:
Their ability to withstand high temperatures and severe thermal cycling makes them essential components in many industrial furnace operations.
