Silicon Carbide Tube Overview
Silicon carbide (SiC) is a lightweight, high-performance ceramic material renowned for its remarkable strength, comparable to that of diamond. It exhibits excellent thermal conductivity, low thermal expansion, and outstanding resistance to acids, making it ideal for demanding applications that require superior erosion and abrasive resistance.
At Supreme Ceramic Materials (SCM), we offer a range of silicon carbide tubes, including sintered SiC tubes, reaction-bonded SiC tubes, and recrystallized SiC tubes. Our recrystallized SiC products feature high purity, while our reaction-bonded and sintered tubes boast exceptional mechanical strength. These silicon carbide tubes offer excellent wear resistance, a low thermal expansion coefficient, extreme corrosion resistance, high hardness, and self-lubricating properties.
