What is SiC silicon carbide tube?

The silicon carbide (SiC) protection tube is a type of ceramic tube. It can effectively protect temperature sensors from damage under harsh working conditions such as high temperatures and strong corrosion.

The combination of silicon and carbon used in the manufacturing of silicon carbide protection tubes endows it with extremely excellent mechanical strength and heat conduction performance, and meanwhile, it has super-strong anti-oxidation and anti-corrosion capabilities.

As a silicon carbide product applied in the industrial and sintering fields, the silicon carbide protection tube has extremely high strength, and its performance is comparable to that of diamond.

Silicon carbide tubes properties?

The silicon carbide protection tube is truly an extremely ideal high - performance material, demonstrating outstanding characteristics in numerous application scenarios. Its most commendable properties are as follows:

The silicon carbide protection tube has extremely strong high - temperature resistance and can easily withstand the extreme high - temperature environment of up to 2000°F. Under such high - temperature conditions, the strength of the material itself does not decrease significantly, and it can still maintain stable physical properties, ensuring reliable operation under high - temperature working conditions. This characteristic gives it unparalleled advantages in high - temperature operation fields such as high - temperature smelting and special kilns.

It has good thermal shock resistance and can effectively cope with rapid temperature changes. In actual use, the frequent heating and cooling processes of equipment often pose a great test to materials. However, the silicon carbide protection tube, with its excellent thermal shock resistance, can avoid problems such as cracking and damage caused by thermal stress shocks, significantly extending the service life of the equipment and reducing maintenance costs.

This protection tube has an extremely wide range of corrosion resistance. Whether facing a strong acid environment or a strong alkali attack, the product can exhibit strong resistance and operate stably and reliably. This excellent acid - and alkali - corrosion resistance makes it an ideal substitute for various reaction devices and transportation pipelines in the domestic chemical industry, providing a solid guarantee for the safe and efficient operation of the chemical production process.

In terms of thermal conductivity, the high thermal conductivity of the silicon carbide protection tube is remarkable, with its thermal conductivity coefficient being as much as five times that of stainless steel. This means that during the heat transfer process, it can conduct heat more quickly and efficiently, greatly improving energy utilization efficiency. For some industrial processes with extremely high requirements for heat exchange efficiency, such as chemical heat exchangers and high - temperature heat treatment equipment, it can significantly optimize the production process and enhance production efficiency.

The silicon carbide protection tube also has special wear resistance, and its wear resistance is 1.5 times that of tungsten carbide. In some application scenarios where wear is likely to occur, such as material transportation and mechanical friction, it can rely on its excellent wear resistance to effectively reduce equipment damage caused by friction loss, greatly reduce the equipment replacement frequency, improve the continuity and stability of production operations, and save a large amount of equipment maintenance and replacement costs for enterprises.
