Protect Your Investment With Robust Silicon Carbide Plates

Silicon carbide plates are an integral component of military and law enforcement personnel protective gear, and offer excellent ballistic defense protection. Due to their lightweight yet hard characteristics, silicon carbide plates make an ideal option when it comes to protecting against ballistic threats.

Silicon carbide, a multilayered crystal, comes in various forms known as polytypes and has hexagonal, rhombohedral or cubic structures.

High-Temperature Resistance

Top-grade silicon carbide plates can withstand extreme temperatures while maintaining a low thermal expansion rate and retain their strength and rigidity in environments where other materials would deform or fail due to mechanical strain or chemical wear.

Silicon carbide’s excellent characteristics make it an ideal material for high-performance kilns. Silicon carbide is often utilized as hearth plates, recuperator tubes, pusher slabs and girders within these structures – as well as light furniture like posts, firing rings and deck slabs.

Silicon carbide applications also benefit from its superior strength and resistance to corrosion and wear, such as cut-off wheels and grinding wheels, while its hardness offers advantages in wear resistance refractory components like silicon carbide linings for ball mills and high temperature resistance in semiconductor substrates and electrical insulation plates. Furthermore, silicon carbide boasts impressive flexural strength.

High-Strength

Silicon carbide plates are one of the hardest materials available, making them perfect for protecting against multiple threats such as bullets and armor-piercing projectiles. Furthermore, they’re relatively lightweight and comfortable enough to wear without compromising protection.

They offer superior strength to weight ratios, making them an excellent choice for vehicle and aircraft armor applications. Furthermore, these materials boast high tensile strength, great chemical and oxidation resistance as well as outstanding thermal conductivity properties.

Your application dictates which grade of silicon carbide you need: sintered silicon carbide refractory plates, reaction-bonded silicon carbide or recrystallized silicon carbide ceramic plates from Kerui provide unparalleled purity; sintered and reaction-bonded varieties offer high mechanical strength.

High-Resistance to Corrosion

Silicon carbide plates provide effective protection for industrial applications across several fields and threats, including bullets, armor-piercing rounds and fragments as well as chemical degradation and corrosion. Their lightweight construction provides mobility and comfort for their wearer.

Pressureless sintered silicon carbide (SiC) is one of the hardest and most durable fine ceramics, featuring superior mechanical properties at both low temperatures and higher ones, making it a suitable material for components such as valves and pumps handling liquids and gases with strong chemical reactions.

SiC is well known for its impressive resistance to acidic and alkaline solutions, molten salts and acids, corrosion in general and pusher slabs used as furniture in tunnel kilns and shuttle kilns. As such, this material makes an excellent choice for use as shelves in these applications, along with pusher slabs, skid rails and girders used in loading structure systems of tunnel and shuttle kilns.

High-Performance

Silicon carbide plates feature outstanding mechanical strength, chemical stability and thermal properties – an unrivalled combination that makes them invaluable components of applications requiring high erosion/abrasive resistance like kiln shelves/furniture/spraying nozzles/shot blast systems/refractory materials/armor and ballistic plates.

Solid-phase sintered silicon carbide is an ideal material to use as wafer carriers for epitaxial growth processes due to its exceptional heat resistance and thermal conductivity properties, and resistance against high temperature oxidation.

Silicon carbide plates are commonly employed as vehicle armor components to defend against bullets and other ballistic threats, including hostage situations or high-risk scenarios. Furthermore, they can also be integrated into protective shields and barricades to fortify law enforcement officers and civilians in hostage situations or high-risk events. Silicon carbide absorbs projectile kinetic force by engulphing it before its impact, eliminating ricochet and minimizing injury while pairing well with various materials that provide flexibility, impact resistance, overall performance benefits.
