What industry category does silicon carbide belong to?
The "three-proof" material utilizes the characteristics of silicon carbide such as corrosion resistance, high temperature resistance, high strength, good thermal conductivity and impact resistance. On the one hand, silicon carbide can be used for various smelting furnace linings, high-temperature furnace parts, silicon carbide plates, linings, supports, saggers, silicon carbide crucibles and the like. On the other hand, it can be used for high-temperature indirect heating materials in nonferrous metal smelting industry, such as vertical tank distillation furnace, distillation furnace tray, aluminum electrolytic cell, copper smelting furnace lining, arc plate for zinc powder furnace, thermocouple protection tube and so on. Used for manufacturing advanced silicon carbide ceramic materials with wear resistance, corrosion resistance and high temperature resistance; It can also be used to make rocket nozzles and gas turbine blades. In addition, silicon carbide is also one of the ideal materials for solar water heaters on expressways and airstrips. Non-ferrous metals are used as high-temperature indirect heating materials by taking advantage of the high temperature resistance, high strength, good thermal conductivity and impact resistance of silicon carbide, such as retort, rectifier plate, aluminum electrolytic cell, copper melting furnace lining, arc plate for zinc powder furnace, thermocouple protection tube, etc.
