Other uses of reaction sintered silicon carbide
Reaction bonded silicon carbide ceramic can be used as an additive for steel metallurgy. At present, the most important chemical use of silicon carbide abroad is as a purifying agent for steelmaking, that is, as a remover for steelmaking and a structural modifier for cast iron.
Reaction bonded silicon carbide ceramic materials are also widely used in electrical engineering. In the field of electrical engineering, reaction sintered silicon carbide is mainly used as heating elements, resistors, diodes, transistors, and thermistors. The common heating element for RBSIC Silicon carbide ceramic is silicon carbide rod, which is suitable for various electric furnaces operating at 1100~11380C.
RBSIC Silicon carbide ceramic is also widely used in high-tech wood ceramics. Reactive sintered silicon carbide high-tech ceramics are particularly outstanding for their wear resistance, high temperature resistance, and corrosion resistance, and have been widely used in many industrial fields such as machinery, automobiles, aerospace, chemical, and petroleum. Specifically, the application of RBSIC Silicon carbide ceramic as structural materials includes reaction sintered silicon carbide ceramic sealing rings, reaction sintered silicon carbide ceramic grinding media, reaction sintered silicon carbide ceramic bulletproof plates, rbsic ceramic grinding discs, reaction sintered silicon carbide ceramic high-temperature corrosion resistant components, etc. Reaction sintered silicon carbide material is a type of high-tech ceramics, which is mainly made of submicron sized silicon carbide powder. Due to the extremely high hardness of RBSIC Silicon carbide ceramics, the wear resistance, high temperature resistance, and corrosion resistance of RBSIC Silicon carbide ceramics made with advanced technology are more prominent.
Therefore, reaction sintered silicon carbide ceramics have become the leader in various high-tech ceramics.
