Kiln Furniture

 

SILCARB makes a whole range of silicon carbide-based kiln furnitures.

 

Working with silicon carbide-based ceramics for the last four decades silcarb has an in-depth knowledge of the workings of SiC based ceramics.

 

Silcarb has been in the field of manufacturing Silicon Carbide based ceramics for the past 35 odd years in its state-of-the-art plant located in Bangalore, India. The Silicon Carbide that Silcarb manufactures has high strength carrying capabilities, high temperature withstanding capabilities and excellent thermal shock resistance. The first step in manufacturing is to prepare the ceramic raw materials and mix them homogeneously using various suitable additives. The ceramic mass is then processed using various forming processes like wet pressing or slip casting. After the forming, debinding and drying sintering is followed. To obtain the required material properties, special adjustments are made during the sintering process so that the requirements are met. Special analysis methods are used to evaluate the quality of the kiln furnitures.

 

These silicon carbide-based beams and plates are ideally suitable for kiln furniture as they have high hot strength and high thermal conductivity as when compared to oxide bonded and other kiln furnitures.

 

 

Silcarb manufactures the complete range of SIC batts, Posts, Saggers etc. The kiln furnitures are made from NBSIC, SISIC and recrystallized SIC as per the application demands. Typically, SIC-based kiln furniture is lighter than tradition mullite etc based kiln furniture and our range of recrystallized silicon carbide furniture works to temperatures of 1700 degrees under high loads. Our SISIC saggers etc have a smooth non-granular surface making it the ideal choice for high-end component sintering.
