Silicon Carbide (SiC) has properties remarkably similar to those of diamond – it is one of the lightest, hardest, and strongest technical ceramic materials, is the most corrosion-resistant and wear-resistant ceramic, it has exceptional thermal conductivity, resistance to acids, and low thermal expansion. used in mechanical seals and pump parts.

It not only have excellent mechanical properties at room temperature, such as high flexural strength, excellent oxidation resistance, good corrosion resistance, high wear resistance and low friction coefficient, but also high temperature mechanical properties (strength, creep resistance, Etc), is the best among known ceramic materials. Hot press sintering, pressureless sintering, hot isostatic pressing, the high temperature strength can be maintained up to 1600 ° C, which is the best material for high temperature strength in ceramic materials. Oxidation resistance is also the best of all non-oxide ceramics.
