FAQs of Pressureless Sintered Silicon Carbide Ceramic (PSC)

What are the differences between pressureless sintering and hot-pressed silicon carbide?

The main difference lies in the forming process. Pressureless sintering requires no external pressure, allowing for the creation of complex shapes; hot-pressing requires pressure applied at high temperatures, resulting in denser products but with limited shape options and higher costs.

What is its maximum operating temperature?

In oxidizing atmospheres (such as air), its long-term stable operating temperature can reach over 1400°C; in inert or reducing atmospheres, the operating temperature can be even higher.

How corrosion resistant is pressureless sintered silicon carbide?

It has excellent corrosion resistance to most acids (such as sulfuric acid and hydrochloric acid) and alkalis, but is not resistant to hydrofluoric acid, hot phosphoric acid, and strong oxidizing molten salts.

What are its main disadvantages?

The main disadvantages are high brittleness, sensitivity to notches, and difficult machining (usually only possible with diamond tools for grinding).

How do I choose the right type of silicon carbide ceramic for my application?

The selection of components should be based on specific working conditions (temperature, corrosive media, wear type, stress conditions) and the requirements for component shape complexity and precision. Consult a professional materials engineer for selection.
