Next generation of stronger Sialons for use in molten metals up to 1,400 C.
Sialon ULTRA™ is the new standard for the molten aluminium industry with a 30% higher impact fracture toughness than conventional Silicon Nitrides. All our products are polished to improve even more its excellent non-wetting properties.
A new generation of Sintered Silicon Carbide with superior or equal performance to HEXOLOY®
XICAR® sintered silicon carbide is highly durable and performs exceptionally well in extreme high-temperature applications up to 1,900°C. It is highly resistant to chemical corrosion, making it an excellent choice for challenging applications in various industries.
Our SSiC thermocouple protection tubes are highly durable and perfect for harsh industrial environments. They resist corrosion and abrasion, can withstand high temperatures, and meet high standards of performance and reliability.
Get our premium XICAR® silicon carbide crucibles for high-temp processes. They meet industry standards and offer unbeatable quality, durability and performance.
XICAR™ Sintered silicon carbide provides a unique combination of physical properties, including high mechanical strength, toughness, excellent thermal shock resistance and resistance to corrosion. As a result, it is ideal for applications involving exposure to high-temperature liquids such as alloy melts and exposure to hot gases, with applications in mineral and chemical processing kilns and furnaces.
At the same time, we introduce our new ultrasonic extrusion dies technology. The combination of this new sialon silicon nitride ceramic die and the ultrasonic technology will result in a up to 70% FASTER production compared to non-ultrasonic treatment.
Silicon Nitride ceramic extrusion dies are used for the extrusion and drawing of non-ferrous alloys in the metal extrusion industry.
With regards to Sialon ceramics, there is substitution of silicon by aluminum with corresponding atomic replacement of nitrogen by oxygen, to satisfy valency requirements.
The resulting ‘solution’ has superior properties to the original pure solvent, syalon, silicon nitride or Si3N4 extrusion dies.
Silicon Nitride ceramics have found extensive use in non-ferrous molten metal handling, particularly aluminum and its alloys, including metal feed tubes for aluminum die casting, burner and immersion heater tubes, injector and degassing for nonferrous metals, thermocouple protection tubes, crucibles and ladles.
