This is our “workhorse” grade material, exhibiting superior impact resistance over most silicon carbide grades and typically extending component lifetimes by 3 to 10 times. SCProbond™ N is ideal for replacing large multi-feature components with a monolithic solution and widely used in power generation, mining for bulk material handling and protective linings, as well as for non-ferrous molten metal contact.

This material has all the advantages of traditional nitride bonded silicon carbide, but is set apart by its “Through Nitriding” properties. This formulation creates an equalized wear rate across thicker cross sections and improves lifetime predictability for our customers. “Through Nitriding” has seen success at cross-sections 4” and beyond. This gives our customers extended product lifetimes and the ability to better predict and schedule maintenance and replacement.

Grain size and binding strength have made castng NBSiC parts with < 0.375” wall thickness a challenge in the past, resulting in low yields and increased cost for thin-wall NBSiC. SCProbond TW can be cast in the range of 0.25” to 0.375”. This material is characterized by excellent wear propertes in severe industrial environments with ASTM C704 results in the same range as our standard NBSiC, increased fexural strength with MOR results that are double those of our SCProbond TN, and the same 1525°C service temperatures that allow for use in extreme heat. Similar to our fndings with TN, SCProbond TW exhibits a 15% increases in strength with thermal cycling. This material is recommended for use in areas where a wear or corrosion resistant component is needed, but wall thickness is limited, and/or high temperatures areas with similar size constraints

This material is characterized by high-temperature strength, a typically low porosity, good thermal shock resistance, high thermal conductivity, and a greater resistance to sliding abrasion especially when used with heavy solid-containing slurries.

Serviceable up to 1600℃, users can expect excellent corrosion resistance, thermal shock resistance, thermal conductivity, good resistance to wear in abrasive and sliding environments, and a hardness second only to diamond, while maintaining a density approximately the same as aluminum. SCProbond™ SSiC is ideal for extremely demanding applications, including slip ring seals in chemical pumps, bearing bushes, high temperature burner nozzles, or as kiln furniture for exceedingly high application temperatures.
