What is sisic reaction sintered silicon carbide?
Reaction sintering silicon carbide also called Reaction Bonded Silicon Carbide (RBSiC/SiSiC) is a densification process in which reactive liquid silicon or silicon alloy is infiltrated into a carbon-containing porous ceramic body to react to form silicon carbide, and then combined with the original silicon carbide particles to fill the remaining pores in the body.
Reaction sintered silicon carbide ceramics are a high-tech industrial ceramic material that possesses several unmatched properties, including high temperature strength, strong oxidation resistance, strong acid and alkali corrosion resistance, good thermal stability, high thermal conductivity, high wear resistance, and hardness second only to diamond. It is used a lot in mining industry, steel industry, coal processing industry, chemical industry, raw material-making industry, mechanical sealing, surface sandblasted treatment and reflector etc.
