Silicon carbide tubing has several properties that make it a desirable material for various industries.
1. Hardness: Silicon carbide has a Mohs hardness of 9.5, making it one of the hardest materials known. This high hardness allows for tight dimensional control and resistance to wear and abrasion.
2. Density: Silicon carbide tubing has a density of 3 g/cm3, which contributes to its high strength and durability.
3. Thermal conductivity: Silicon carbide has a thermal conductivity of 50 Btu/fthF @300oC. This high thermal conductivity allows for efficient heat transfer and makes silicon carbide tubing suitable for applications that involve high temperatures.
4. Compressive strength: Silicon carbide tubing has a compressive strength of 500,000 PSI, making it highly resistant to deformation and capable of withstanding high pressure.
5. Flexural strength: Silicon carbide exhibits high flexural strength at various temperatures, making it suitable for applications where mechanical strength is important.
6. Corrosion resistance: Silicon carbide is highly anti-corrosive, making it suitable for use in chemically aggressive environments.
7. Shock resistance: Silicon carbide tubing has excellent shock resistance, allowing it to withstand high impact or sudden changes in pressure.
8. Thermal shock resistance: Silicon carbide has superior thermal shock resistance compared to other ceramic materials. This means it can withstand rapid temperature changes without cracking or breaking.
In addition to these properties, silicon carbide tubing also has low thermal expansion, high elastic modulus, and excellent chemical inertness. It can be formed into complex shapes using methods such as casting and dry press. Silicon carbide tubing finds applications in industries such as power, chemical and paper, oil drilling, automotive, and semi-conductive industries. It is also used in abrasives, refractories, ceramics, and high-performance applications. Overall, silicon carbide tubing offers superior performance and durability in demanding environments.
