High Temperature Resistant SiC Disc Ring
Product Description
Ultralight Silicon Carbide Ring Disc is ring-shaped ceramic products made from high-purity silicon carbide (SiC) powder through precision molding and high-temperature sintering processes. As a high-performance advanced ceramic component, it possesses characteristics such as ultra-high hardness, excellent high-temperature resistance, strong corrosion resistance, and a low coefficient of friction, and is widely used in high-tech fields such as mechanical seals, aerospace, and semiconductor manufacturing. Depending on the manufacturing process, they can be classified into various types, including reaction-sintered silicon carbide rings, pressureless sintered silicon carbide rings, and chemical vapor deposition (CVD) silicon carbide rings, to meet the performance requirements under different operating conditions.
Manufacturing Processes
1. Reaction Sintering
Reaction sintering is one of the mainstream processes for preparing silicon carbide ceramic rings. This process involves premixing an appropriate amount of carbon-containing material into silicon carbide powder. At high temperatures, the carbon reacts with silicon to form a dense silicon carbide ceramic structure. Its advantages include relatively low sintering temperature, short sintering time, and the ability to achieve near-net-shape molding, reducing subsequent processing. It is particularly suitable for mass production of precision components such as mechanical seal rings.
2. Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD)
For applications requiring ultra-high purity, CVD technology exhibits unique advantages. This process deposits a silicon carbide layer on a precision-machined high-purity graphite substrate through a gaseous chemical reaction. The substrate employs a grooved ring structure, and a rotating device ensures uniform deposition. The deposition temperature is controlled between 1050-1600℃. The desired thickness is obtained by controlling the precursor flow rate and reaction time. Finally, the substrate is peeled off to obtain a uniform, high-purity silicon carbide ring. This method is particularly suitable for manufacturing core components for semiconductor plasma etching equipment.
3. Other Molding Processes
(1)Isostatic Pressing: Utilizing a liquid medium to transmit pressure, silicon carbide powder is uniformly compressed in all directions to form a high-density ring-shaped preform, which is then sintered. Suitable for manufacturing high-performance, large-size ceramic rings.
(2)Dry Pressing: Suitable for products with relatively simple shapes and large batch sizes. A mature process with lower costs.
(3)Conductive Silicon Carbide Ring Preparation: Conductive additives are uniformly mixed into the raw material, and isostatic pressing or injection molding techniques are used to form a ring-shaped preform to meet specific electrical performance requirements.
