Silicon carbide castable


Silicon Carbide Castables I. Main Product Types Standard Grade (SiC-70): SiC content 65–75%, Al₂O₃ 15–25%, bulk density 2.5–2.7 g/cm³; suitable for temperatures up to 1450°C (in cement kiln decomposition furnaces). High-Purity Grade (SiC-90): SiC ≥ 85%, with a nano-SiO₂ coating added; apparent porosity ≤ 15%, capable of withstanding temperatures up to 1600°C (critical components in waste incineration furnaces). Composite Reinforced Grade: SiC–ZrO₂ gradient structure (with 15% ZrO₂ on the surface); thermal shock resistance ≥ 30 cycles (water quench at 1100°C); alkali corrosion resistance improved by 50%. II. Production Processes Low-Temperature Firing Technology: Microwave-Assisted Drying (reducing energy consumption by 40%); Nitrogen‑Protected Sintering at 1450°C (compared to the traditional requirement of 1600°C); Digital Quality Control: Online Thermal Imaging Monitoring (temperature deviation ±5°C); AI Prediction Models (strength deviation ≤ 3%).
