Black Silicon Carbide VS Green Silicon Carbide
Differences Between Green Silicon Carbide and Black Silicon Carbide Green silicon carbide and black silicon carbide are basically the same, but their raw materials and manufacturing processes differ. Green silicon carbide has superior hardness and purity compared to black silicon carbide. Its elastic modulus reaches 410 GPa, it does not dissolve under normal temperature and pressure, and only begins to degrade above 1600°C, decomposing at 2815.5°C. Our company produces reaction sintered silicon carbide products, with a normal operating temperature ≤1350°C. Green silicon carbide is suitable for grinding copper, brass, aluminum, gemstones, optical glass, ceramics, and other hard alloys, metals, and hard and brittle non-metallic materials. Its fine powder can also be used as a ceramic material.

Applications of Silicon Carbide Ceramics
Chemical Industry, Metallurgy Silicon carbide materials have high resistance to erosion by molten iron, slag, and alkali metals, along with high thermal conductivity and wear resistance. From the 1970s to the early 1990s, over 65% of large blast furnaces worldwide adopted silicon nitride bonded silicon carbide materials as furnace body materials, extending blast furnace life by 20% to 40%. Various silicon carbide materials have also been widely used as furnace linings or crucibles in the smelting of aluminum, copper, and zinc. In the chemical and metallurgical industries, ceramic heat exchangers are often used to preheat various gases or liquids to fully utilize the heat from various hot furnace exhaust gases. Energy and Environmental Protection Direct purification of coal gas at high temperatures can fully utilize the sensible heat of the coal gas used in Hexolov heat exchangers. Compared to purification at normal temperature, this greatly improves thermal efficiency. Using high-temperature purified coal gas directly for gas turbine power generation can significantly increase power supply efficiency, reduce harmful emissions, and save water. The use of gas turbine equipment in modern coal-fired power generation systems and environmental protection standards require high-temperature gas direct dust removal. Industrial Kilns Various industrial kilns are widely used in light industry, building materials, electronics, and other sectors. Using combinations of silicon carbide kiln furniture made from different materials can greatly reduce the weight and space occupied by kiln furniture, improve energy utilization, and reduce labor intensity. At the same time, due to the excellent thermal shock resistance of silicon carbide components, the firing heating rate can be accelerated. Various Heating Devices In material sintering, melting, heat treatment, and the glass industry, indirect gas heating is an important method. Compared with direct combustion heating, indirect gas heating can greatly improve thermal efficiency and reduce emissions of harmful gases such as NOx. It also improves temperature stability and ensures control of the furnace atmosphere. Additionally, many industrial heating processes require isolation of the workpiece from the combustion environment. Heating Elements The important electrical conductivity of silicon carbide makes it the primary material for manufacturing heating elements for furnaces operating above 1000°C. Silicon carbide heating elements are the main product of silicon carbide materials and have a large market. In China, the operating temperature of related products has long remained below 1400°C, while since the 1990s, developed countries have generally increased the operating temperature of silicon carbide heating elements to 1600°C, for example, Germany's Cesi-wid company and Japan's Tokai High Heat Co., Ltd. Compared with foreign products, the cold end/hot zone resistance ratio of domestic products is generally only 1:10, lower than the foreign level of 1:15, causing waste of electrical resources. Mechanical Seals To improve performance, save fuel, and extend warranty periods, the automotive industry has higher requirements for cooling systems. Due to increased temperature and pressure in automotive cooling systems, water pumps are required to operate at higher speeds and bear higher loads. One important factor in extending water pump service life is the mechanical seal. Silicon Carbide Composite Materials for Nuclear Industry Silicon carbide materials have low neutron activation behavior (radioactivity under neutron irradiation), low decay heat, low gas permeability (especially to nitrogen), and excellent high-temperature mechanical properties, making them suitable for structural materials in nuclear power plants. For example, the ARIFS nuclear power plant in the United States selected SiC fiber-reinforced SiC as cladding material. With the development of nuclear power, the demand for high-performance silicon carbide materials will greatly increase. Conclusion From the above summary of silicon carbide material preparation and engineering applications, it is clear that silicon carbide materials are currently the most promising advanced engineering ceramics for industrialization. They include not only high-performance fine ceramics but also cover silicon carbide products of various performance grades from low to high. Silicon carbide materials play an important role in future high-tech fields such as ceramic engines and have broad and untapped markets in energy, metallurgy, machinery, building materials, chemical industries, and more. Currently, the positioning of silicon carbide structural ceramic products in China should focus on developing various products with large market demand, while various high-performance fine ceramics or composites serve as research and development targets. Besides developing high-performance materials, various high-temperature components and load-bearing parts should become the main products currently developed. Our main products include: burner nozzles, beams, desulfurization nozzles, thermocouple protection tubes, radiation tubes, square beams, roller rods, cold air pipes, crucibles, wear-resistant pipelines, and various special-shaped parts resistant to high temperature, wear, and corrosion, as well as wear-resistant, high-temperature resistant, corrosion-resistant aqueous metal ceramic glaze coatings. These are widely used in daily porcelain, sanitary ware, electrical porcelain, high-temperature kilns, machinery, pumps, desulfurization and environmental protection, boilers, papermaking, metallurgy, petroleum, chemical, aerospace, and military industries. Customized production is available according to customer requirements. Contact phone: 027-59909189 400-862-9007 Mobile: 18627727335 15327437079 Email: hblcxcl@126.com Welcome to inquire and purchase!
