Silicon Carbide has properties remarkably similar to those of diamond – it is one of the lightest, hardest, and strongest technical ceramic materials and has exceptional thermal conductivity, resistance to acids, and low thermal expansion. Silicon Carbide is an excellent material to use when physical wear is an important consideration because it exhibits good erosion and abrasive resistance, making it useful in a variety of applications including the following: Valve seats
Sliding bearings
Mechanical seal faces
Plungers
Wear parts
Kiln furniture
Burners
Blast nozzles
Heat exchangers
Letdown valves
