Description:
Silicon carbide whisker properties: good wear resistance, high temperature resistance, especially heat shock resistance, corrosion resistance, radiation resistance, high thermal conductivity.
Main application of SiC whiskers:
1. Silicon carbide whiskers are widely used in ceramic-based composite materials. Commonly used in ceramic cutting tools, high-temperature components in the aerospace field, high-grade ceramic bearings, molds, high-pressure jet nozzles, high-temperature coatings, etc. In ceramics, silicon carbide whiskers make ceramics have extremely high hardness, toughness, wear resistance, and high temperature resistance. The strengthening ceramic is used to make cutting tools with good heat resistance, smooth cutting workpieces, and prolong the service life of the tools.
2. Silicon carbide(SiC) whiskers are added to the plastic, metal or ceramic matrix as a reinforcing component to play a role in strengthening and toughening. Utilizing the high thermal conductivity and high insulation of silicon carbide, it is used as a substrate and packaging material for large-scale integrated circuits in the electronics industry. As an information optical material, it has high application value in the fields of TV display, modern communication, network and so on.
3. SiC whiskers are also widely used in the manufacture of high-strength plastics, metals and ceramics. Due to the excellent functions of silicon carbide whiskers, it has a special role in the aerospace industry. The silicon carbide whisker is a gray-green powder in a macroscopic view, and only when it is evenly distributed in the matrix material can it can achieve the best effect of strengthening and toughening. For this reason, well dispersion is important.
Dispersion suggestions of SiC whisker FYI:
1. Select the dispersion medium. Water, ethanol, isopropanol, etc., based on your formula.
2. Select the suitable dispersant.
3. Adjust the PH value of the dispersion medium.
4. Stir evenly.
Storage Condition:
Beta silicon carbide whisker/ cubic SiC whisker should be stored in dry, cool and sealing of the environment, can not be exposure to air, keep in dark place. in addition should avoid the heavy pressure, according to ordinary goods transportation.
