Selecting a ceramic material depends heavily on a thorough understanding of the service requirements specific to your high-temperature application. The following all play a major role in determining the most appropriate high-temperature ceramic material:

That's our trade name for our reaction bonded silicon carbide material. Reaction bonded silicon carbide is a multi-phased material typically containing 7-15% silicon metal, some minor amount of unreacted carbon, with the remaining body being SiC. Reaction bonded SiC materials are manufactured utilizing a variety of processes depending on desired final product geometry, configuration, and required tolerances.

That's our trade name for our Nitride Bonded Silicon Carbide material. Nitride bonded silicon carbide is composed of silicon carbide (SiC) bonded by silicon nitride. Nitride bonded SiC's typically offer reduced wear and corrosion resistance compared to sintered and reaction bonded SiC materials but they offer economical application performance in less severe process areas that are too demanding for typical metal alloy components.

That's our tradename for our Sintered Alpha Silicon Carbide. CALSIC S is a single phase material containing greater than 99% silicon carbide. Sintered SiC is a self-bonded material containing a sintering aid (typically Boron) of less than 1% by weight. CALSIC S is a fine-grained material with a typical grain size of < 5 microns exhibiting:
