Silicon Carbide

Silicon carbide is a compound of silicon and carbon which can be obtained from coke and quartz sand at a temperature of about 2500° Celsius. Our experts can translate specific technical requests into real and suitable customer solutions by taking advantage of the outstanding features of this material:
- Very good hardness
- Chemical and thermal resistance
- Good resistance to fluctuations in temperatures
- High thermal conductivity
- Low thermal expansion
- Good wear resistance
- Good anti-friction properties
Components made of silicon carbide find applications in several industrial sectors:
- Pumps shafts; plungers for high-pressure pumps
- Sliding bearings used in industrial pumps as well as in stirrers and mixers for the chemical, pharmaceutical and food industry
- Mechanical seal rings particularly suitable for heavy-duty applications as handling of abrasive fluids
- Separators wheels used in the production of powders and granules for chemical, pharmaceutical and food industry.
