High Quality SiC Tube

Custom Processing Suppliers

\
With a Mohs hardness of 9, its high wear resistance extends its lifespan several times longer than metal pipes, significantly reducing the likelihood of replacements and downtime.
\
Dual heat and corrosion resistance allows a single pipe to withstand extreme industrial environments (stable operation at high temperatures, capable of temporarily reaching 2000°C in an inert atmosphere).
\
High thermal conductivity and low thermal expansion make it ideal for rapid heating or cooling applications.
\
OEM customization is available, from small-batch trials to large-scale production (with a minimum order of one).

FAQs

What are the main benefits of using silicon carbide tubes?

GORGEOUS silicon carbide is inert to a wide range of corrosive chemicals, including strong acids and bases, and is temperature-resistant up to 200°C.
Silicon carbide tubing can replace most materials, such as graphite, metals, and alloys, which can introduce contamination over time due to corrosion. Other key advantages include high heat transfer, excellent mechanical strength, and low thermal expansion.

Types of SiC Tubes？

There are mainly reaction bonded SiC tubes, sintered SiC tubes, recrystallized SiC tubes, etc.

What are the advantages of SiC tubes?

Silicon carbide tubes have extremely high hardness (equivalent to diamond grade), excellent thermal shock resistance and thermal stability, strong chemical corrosion resistance, low thermal expansion coefficient, high heating/cooling efficiency, longer life, and low maintenance costs.

How to Choose the Right Type?

If you are looking for extreme corrosion resistance, then recrystallized SiC is recommended; if you want high mechanical strength, then sintered SiC is optional; if you need cost-effectiveness, you can consider reaction-bonded SiC.
