Reaction Bonded Silicon Carbide

BETTER CARBON has been focusing on the development and application of reactive sintered silicon carbide and atmospheric pressure sintered silicon carbide products. Today, we will focus on reactive sintered silicon carbide products.

Reaction Bonded Silicon Carbide (RBSC) is a high-performance ceramic material made by mixing silicon powder and carbon and sintering them at high temperatures through a chemical reaction. These products have excellent wear resistance, corrosion resistance, high temperature resistance, and mechanical strength, and are therefore used in a wide range of applications. The following are some of the application areas:

Mining and metallurgy: RBSC products are commonly used in the mining and metallurgy industries, especially in high temperature and corrosive environments. For example, they can be used in refractory furnace linings, lining of smelting furnaces and other high-temperature, corrosion-resistant applications.

Chemical industry: Due to their excellent corrosion resistance, RBSC products are also commonly used in chemical equipment. For example, they are used in the manufacture of acid- and alkali-resistant and corrosion-resistant pipes, pumps and reactors.

Mechanical engineering: The high hardness and wear resistance of RBSC products make them ideal for use in mechanical engineering. They are commonly used in the manufacture of bearings, sealing rings, valves and other parts that require high wear resistance.

Semiconductor industry: In semiconductor manufacturing, RBSC products are used to make fixtures, strippers and other equipment in high-temperature and high-vacuum environments.

Energy industry: Due to its excellent resistance to high temperatures, RBSC products are popular in the energy industry for applications such as gas turbine components and combustion chambers.

Automotive: In automotive manufacturing, RBSC products can be used to make high-performance engine components such as piston rings and cylinder liners.

It is important to note that specific applications will vary depending on the shape, size and performance characteristics of the RBSC product. In addition, due to their high performance and relatively high manufacturing costs, RBSC products are often used in special applications where high material properties are required.
