Silicon carbide is one of the hardest materials available and has therefore very good wear resistant characteristics. Besides the hardness the material is also suitable for high temperature applications. It is able to keep its mechanical strength in high temperatures and is has very good thermal shock characteristics.

Use our material selection tool to select the best material for your application!

Selecting the right type of silicon carbide for your application can be crucial to create a successful application. Larger parts with complex design are often made out RSiC or SiSiC, while smaller parts with tight tolerances generally made out of SSiC. Because of the hardness, it is very difficult to grind the parts towards the right dimensions. We can support in selecting the right material and optimise your design to make sure you get the best product with the best possible conditions.
