With proper use and care, silicon carbide inserts can last significantly longer than quartz, often for years without cracking or wearing down.
Silicon carbide inserts have a better performance than quartz and titanium in durability, thermal management and chemical stability. Compared to quartz, SiC offers a significantly longer service life. It often lasting over a year without deformation or small cracking under high temperatures. Its excellent resistance to thermal shock allows it to endure thermal cycling without breakage, whereas quartz will typically crack or degrade. Besides, SiC is more stable at higher temperatures than quartz. It is a more economically viable choice where quartz is limited by maintenance cycles.
Compared to titanium, SiC is tougher with very high hardness (Mohs 9.5) and significant wear resistance. It is more suitable for long-term abrasive and high-load applications. SiC has better resistance to harsh acids and alkalis which can corrode titanium. It also has a low density about 3.1 g/cm3 lighter than titanium, with a high thermal conductivity up to 230 W/(m·K), facilitating heat efficiently at high temperatures.
In conclusion, silicon carbide inserts provide superior high-temperature performance, corrosion resistance and longevity. But because they are more brittle, they are better suited for steady-state, continuous operations than for high-impact mechanical applications.
Silicon carbide inserts can be customized to fit various devices operating under various conditions. Newthink creates both small precision parts and larger structural components, supports complex shapes such as tubes or sealing rings, and varies sintering methods to achieve desired performance properties related to strength, purity or thermal performance. Furthermore, polishing and coatings can vary according to surface environmental specifications for specific environments.
Yes, silicon carbide inserts require special care to maintain applicable performance. In routine cleaning, a mild neutral detergent and a soft cleaning material like cloth or nylon brush should be used. Never use metal instruments or actions, since SiC is hard but brittle. SiC inserts should be cleaned after each use or exposure to reactive substrates, and should never, specifically, be cleaned using hydrofluoric acid, given that this reagent corrodes SiC. If inserts are heavily used, with abundant wear at higher temperatures, it’s best practice to cycle-in the inserts while slowly heating and cooling in bulk to prevent thermal shock. If inserts have a coating, a regular inspection of the coating should take place. If there is any period of service where the coating is compromised, a check with the supplier is best practice.
