Silicon carbide - high-performance material from Doceram, available from Megatron AG
Silicon carbide (SiC) is a technical high-performance ceramic that impresses with its combination of extreme hardness, high temperature resistance and excellent chemical resistance. As a compound of silicon and carbon, silicon carbide is ideal for the most demanding industrial environments.
Doceram uses this material to manufacture high-precision, resistant components - available from Megatron AG. Whether in applications subject to high thermal loads, abrasive media or aggressive chemical conditions - silicon carbide offers maximum process reliability and service life.
Silicon carbide offers a unique combination of properties:
Extremely high hardness - excellent protection against abrasion and mechanical wear
Temperature resistance over 1,400 °C - ideal for high-temperature processes
Corrosion and oxidation resistance - resistant to aggressive chemicals
Low density - lighter than many metals with high stability at the same time
Excellent thermal conductivity - efficient heat distribution under thermal load
Outstanding tribological properties - minimum friction, maximum service life
Mechanical and plant engineering - e.g. for plain bearings, nozzles, seals
Semiconductor technology - ideal for wafer carriers and cooling systems
Automotive industry - proven for brake disks, sensor components
Chemical industry - corrosion-resistant heat exchangers and reactor components
Doceram develops and manufactures customized silicon carbide components that meet the highest requirements. Megatron AG provides you with tailor-made solutions for your industrial processes - reliable, durable and efficient.
