SSiC, as compared to SiSiC (silicon-infiltrated silicon carbide ), is a single-phase material, and thus is superior to SiSiC in resistance against aggressive liquids (chemical stability).
Silicon carbide liner is a type of component that protects equipment. The use of silicon carbide liner reduces equipment wear, vibration and noise, and has an anti-corrosion effect.
The use of silicon carbide liner can also facilitate the maintenance of mechanical equipment, simplify the structure of equipment and manufacturing process. The wear – resistant silicon carbide bushing plays an important role in practical work.
The commonly used silicon carbide cylinder liner is composed of a fixed cylinder and a rotating body rotatable relative to the cylinder. The rotating body is generally formed by splicing a plurality of rotating units. The horizontal sand mill, the rotor of the disclosed grinding cylinder is composed of a hollow shaft and a plurality of dispersing discs. The number of complicated parts is large, the overall structure is large, and the gap between the dispersing disc and the dispersing disc is large, and the grinding medium is given. The extrusion pressure with the ink is not large, and the grinding effect is not ideal.
Compared with other coal preparation methods, silicon carbide cyclone has its unique advantages, which can be summarized as follows:
It has the advantages of large processing capacity per unit volume, high separation accuracy and low separation particle size limit, which can be used for raw coal separation with various washability. The unit capacity of cyclone is much higher than other gravity separation equipment.
Less investment and convenient management. The traditional view is that the dense medium coal preparation system is complex, the equipment wear is serious, the maintenance quantity is large, the management is difficult, the coal preparation cost is high, and so on. However, with the continuous improvement of dense medium coal preparation technology, especially the advent of three product heavy medium cyclone, and the emergence of corresponding auxiliary equipment and reliable wear-resistant materials, the above understanding has fundamentally changed.
The small size of the plant and the compact and neat layout of the equipment make it convenient for the construction of the coal preparation plant to realize the scale and greatly shorten the construction period of the coal preparation plant.
During the operation of SiC cyclone, the spilled ore, old belt head, brick and tile may enter into the cyclone and cause blockage of the cyclone. Once blocked, the untreated pulp will directly enter the overflow, causing the overflow concentration to increase. In view of this problem, the small editor introduces the following several effective methods to prevent the blockage of silicon carbide cyclone, hoping to help you.
First is to install the screen on the pump tank in an inclined way. The size of the screen should be less than one third of that of the sand settling mouth. This is a commonly used and effective method. The materials on the screen are cleaned manually on a regular basis.
The second is to install the roller screen in front of the pump pool with height difference, once and for all, save labor, and is suitable for the occasions with many sundries such as stones.
Third, large diameter hydrocyclone should be selected if possible, because the grit nozzle is also increased correspondingly, and the general debris is not easy to be blocked.
In addition, once the staff found that the desilting nozzle of SiC cyclone is blocked, open the standby hydrocyclone and close the blocked hydrocyclone for cleaning. After the cyclone grit nozzle is blocked, the violent vibration of hydrocyclone may break the foundation screw, especially the cyclone installed at high position. Because it involves the safety of equipment and personal safety, the staff should deal with it as soon as possible.
Silicon carbide (SiC) is a lightweight ceramic material with high strength properties comparable to diamond.
Silicon carbide (SiC) is a synthetic crystalline mineral containing silicon and carbon, generally produced in electrical resistance furnaces at high temperatures of 1700 – 2500 °C.
It has excellent thermal conductivity, low thermal expansion and is resisitance form acids. Silicon carbide ceramic is excellent for applications requiring good erosion and abrasive resistance. Consequently, it is useful in a variety of applications including spray nozzles, shot blast nozzles, ceramic tubing and cyclone components.
A mixture of a carbon material and a silica or quartz sand, it is made to react chemically, resulting in the formation of SiC, which develops as a solid cylindrical ingot around the core, with radial layers ranging from graphite in the inside to α-SiC (the highest-grade material with coarse crystalline structure), β-SiC, metallurgical grade and finally un-reacted material on the outside, which is remelted. SiC can be produced in either black or green, depending on the raw materials used.
Once it is cooled, the SiC ingot is sorted accurately and mainly manually by skilled workers and further processed for different applications. The solid SiC material is then carefully crushed, classified, and milled again if necessary. Another option is to further chemically treat the SiC to obtain specific properties for its applications.
Silicon carbide provides benefits for high-temperature, high-voltage and high-power applications.

And it has developed rapidly. When transporting the materials with the harder abrasion (such as ash dregs, slag, coal powder, mining dregs, the rest mines, cement, etc), it will exit the problem that the abrasion of pipes is too rapid. Especially, the abrasion of bent pipes is greatly more rapid.
When transporting the special abrasion materials or erosive materials, it will exit the problem that the damage of pipes is too rapid.

Armor
Sintered Silicon Carbide has demonstrated an excellent performance record as ceramic material in composite armor protection systems. The properties of sintered silicon carbide, such as its high hardness, compressive strength and elastic modulus, provide superior ballistic capability when confronted with high-velocity projectiles. The low specific density of the material makes it suitable in applications where weight requirements are critical.
Heat Exchanger Tubes
Sintered Silicon Carbide tubes are used in shell and tube heat exchangers in the chemical process industry. The tubes used in these applications are often over 4 m in length.
Mechanical Seals
Pumps must operate in an infinite variety of demanding environments. Sintered Silicon Carbide offers a high performance seal face material that has proven successful in such diverse pumping applications as chemical processing, refining, mining and pulp and paper processing. The material provides superior corrosion and abrasion resistance; shock resistance; and low sliding friction against a wide range of mating materials.
Bearings
For state-of-the-art magnetically driven pumps, sintered silicon carbide is particularly suited for thrust and journal bearing components. Excellent corrosion resistance provides optimum performance in many chemical environments. High thermal conductivity minimizes the likelihood of failure due to thermal shock, and its specific strength makes it safe to use at high rotational speeds. Bearing components are usually produced as tight tolerance precision ground parts.
Automotive Components and Seal Faces
Due to their greater resistance to both wear and thermal shock, sintered silicon carbide seal faces for automotive water pumps are replacing seal faces made of materials such as aluminium oxide. In many cases the material has proven more suitable in meeting the performance demands of U.S. and European vehicles – i.e. lasting the lifetime of the vehicle without leaking. These components are manufactured by conventional high volume pressing and injection moulding methods to meet the economic constraints of the application.
Blast and Atomization Nozzles
Sintered Silicon Carbide is probably the most popular ceramic alternative to tungsten carbide for blast nozzle applications. Typically providing long life (50% over WC) due to excellent wear and corrosion resistance. The low wear rate maintains the internal nozzle geometry and provides maximum blasting effectiveness, minimum compressor requirements and reduced downtime due to replacement. Sintered silicon carbide is also about one fifth the weight of Tungsten Carbide, so the blasting operation is also easier for the operator. Nozzles are often produced as semi finished (non-ground) components thereby reducing costs.
Process Industry Valve Applications
The outstanding corrosion resistance of sintered silicon carbide, particularly in acids, makes it an ideal candidate for valve and valve trim applications. Typical demanding applications such as slurry flashing, HF acid handling and rare earth processing use sintered silicon carbide valve components.
Paper Industry Applications
The excellent corrosion and wear resistance of sintered silicon carbide provides hard surfaces that can be machined to smooth, highly polished finishes. These finishes offer low coefficients of friction and compatibility with forming fabrics. Tiles, inserts and palm guides are available in finished and semi-finished forms.
Centrifuge Tiles and Wear Parts
Often used in applications where tungsten carbide and alumina fail to provide optimum lifetime performance.
Semiconductor Production
The benefit of using silicon carbide for semiconductor components includes; the thermal expansion match to silicon, the resistance to wear and chemical corrosion which leads to reduced maintenance and component recycling. The material is well suited as a structural material for low mass silicon wafer handling components and rigid, dimensionally stable platforms due to its lightness in weight and high elastic modulus. Typical applications include vacuum chucks, chemical mechanical polishing blocks, wafer carriers, and thermocouple protection tubes.
Silicon carbide ceramics are widely used not only in industry, but also in other fields. So, what should be paid attention to when using silicon carbide ceramics?
The hardness of silicon carbide ceramics is very strong, although it does not look as eye-catching as other ceramics, but the use of ornamental ceramics is incomparable. In the process of use, as long as you follow the instructions, there is no need to pay special attention to. Just keep it clean.
If the method used is not correct, the silicon carbide ceramics will be damaged. We can extend its service life by regular maintenance.

SiC applications are such as sandblasting injectors, automotive water pump seals, bearings, pump components, and extrusion dies that use high hardness, abrasion resistance, and corrosion resistance of carbide of silicon.
Metallurgy and power industry: The reason why these two industries are put together is mainly because the two industries have a large number of metal pipes for the transmission of coal powder, ash, mud, and the like. After using the wear-resistant elbow pipe, the advantages of strong wear resistance, long life and easy installation are immediately highlighted.
Mining industry: If the wear-resistant elbow pipe is not used, the ordinary pipe is used for the transportation of the ore powder. Due to the filling of the mine and the transportation of the concentrate powder, the wear of the pipe is relatively large, so that the life of these pipes is only about one year. After wearing elbow pipes, the life of such pipes will be extended by a factor of five.
Coal industry: If long-distance wet transport of coal is required, the pipe has the requirements of good wear resistance and high corrosion resistance, and the pipe with wear-resistant elbow can meet these requirements well.
Ceramic lined pipe is made through self-propagating high-temperature synthesis (SHS) technique.
Cast basalt lined steel pipe is composed by lined with cast basalt pipe, outside steel pipe and cement mortar filling between the two layers.
Ceramic tile lined pipes have very uniform coating of specially formulated ceramic material that is affixed to the inner of the pipe.
The material of the rare earth alloy wear-resistant pipe is ZG40CrMnMoNiSiRe, which is also the grade of rare earth alloy steel.
Tubes Erosion Shields are used to protect boiler tubing from the highly erosive effects of high temperatures and pressures thereby greatly extending tube life.
The ASTM A213 T91 seamless tubes are primarily used for boiler, superheater, and heat-exchanger.
