Silicon Carbide Ceramic Material
Silicon Carbide is a light, extremely hard, and corrosion resistant material which makes it a strong candidate for wear applications in the harshest environments. Silicon Carbide also offers other desirable properties such as excellent thermal conductivity and high young modulus.
Applications
- Semiconductor process equipment Parts
- General industrial machinery parts
- Abrasion resistance part
