Silicon carbide has many benefits similar to silicon nitride. This includes a substantial weight saving compared to bearing steel. Silicon carbide bearings are best suited for the most toxic and chemically aggressive environments in the world. Like other ceramic bearings, silicon carbide can run without lubrication, has high hardness and low torque.
Silicon carbide balls are used less frequently than other ceramic materials. Due to its raw material cost and processing difficulty. Silicon carbide has the best heat and corrosion resistance of all ceramic materials. Silicon carbide is best suited for low loads, low to medium speeds and highly corrosive environments.
Silicon carbide ceramic balls not only have excellent normal temperature mechanical properties, such as high bending strength, excellent oxidation resistance, good corrosion resistance, high wear resistance and low friction coefficient, but also have high temperature mechanical properties (strength, creep resistance denaturation, etc.). ) and has been widely used in petroleum, chemical industry, microelectronics, automobile, aerospace, papermaking, laser, mining and atomic energy and other industrial fields.
