Pressureless Sintered Silicon Carbide (SSiC) is manufactured from high-purity ultra-fine silicon carbide powder (sub-micron) in a vacuum furnace at the temperature of 2100℃ – 2200℃. Very strong sintering bonds between the material grains are formed. Direct Sintered SiC is a better grade than Reaction Bonded SiC and is commonly specified for high-temperature work and hard-faced seal components.
Available Form: Tube, Plate, Ball, Seal Ring, Nozzle, Gasket, etc.
