Manufacturing process
Silicon carbide for process equipment applications is manufactured by the sintering process. First the silicon carbide parts are shaped by extrusion (tubes) or cold isostatic pressing (plates and blocks). Then they are machined (plates and blocks).
Finally, they are sintered under vacuum at a very high temperature. This demanding process confers its ultimate corrosion resistance, its extreme hardness, and its mechanical properties to our CORROSIC® material.
