Calix Ceramic Solutions

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 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.

Calix Ceramic Solutions offers a low resistivity sintered silicon carbide that is an excellent material choice for your ceramic target requirements. Our electrically conductive sintered silicon carbide can be DC magnetron sputtered, perfect for your sputter coating. The material's high density and uniform electrical resistivity allow for higher deposition rates than other ceramic target materials.

The use of advanced ceramic materials can do much to improve the service life, performance, and cost basis of industrial equipment and process systems. The challenge in fully leveraging the improved properties and associated service benefits offered by advanced ceramic materials is often in finding effective ways to integrate ceramics into existing metal alloy based equipment. We can assist you in meeting this challenge with a variety of support services available from Calix Ceramic Solutions.

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:

• Tile Size4” x 4” x 0.200” Thk
• Tolerances+/- 0.030 L & W, +/- 0.010” Thk
