Product Description
15mm*11mm Pressureless Sintered SiC Roller
15*11mm Pressureless Sintered SiC Roller represents a precision thin-walled hollow tube specification that achieves an ideal balance among material density, mechanical load capacity, and structural lightweighting. This product plays a critical role in applications such as thermocouple protection, high-temperature roller hearth transmission, heat exchanger tubes, and high-temperature corrosive media transport.
Manufacturing Process
Raw Material System
Preparation uses high-purity α-SiC submicron powder (SiC content ≥98%, typically ≥99%) as the main raw material, supplemented with small amounts of sintering aids and processing additives. Particle size D₅₀ is controlled between 0.5–0.6 μm with powder purity above 99%.
Forming Processes
- Extrusion: Plasticized feedstock forced through precision tubular dies for continuous production
- Cold Isostatic Pressing (CIP): Isotropic pressure of 100–300 MPa for uniform density and isotropy
- Extrusion-CIP Combined Process: Ideal solution combining forming efficiency with density uniformity
- Slip Casting: Capillary absorption method for small batches and special shapes
Sintering Process
Pressureless sintering is carried out in non-oxidizing atmosphere at 2000–2150°C, relying on solid-state or liquid-phase diffusion for densification without external pressure. This process is not limited by product shape or size, making it the mainstream route for mass production.
Post-Treatment and Precision Control
After sintering, rods undergo precision grinding and polishing to achieve target dimensions with bore diameter tolerance ±0.01 mm, cylindricity ≤0.004 mm, concentricity 0.003 mm, and surface roughness down to Ra 0.5 μm.

Chemical & Electrical Properties
SSiC exhibits outstanding corrosion resistance, forming a dense SiO₂ protective layer under high-temperature oxidizing conditions. Except for hydrofluoric acid and molten strong alkalis, it shows excellent chemical stability. As a wide-bandgap semiconductor, it is non-magnetic and non-conductive.
Application Scenarios
- Thermocouple Protection Tubes: High-temperature furnaces, salt baths, glass melting
- High-Temperature Roller Hearth Kiln Transport: Technical ceramics, battery materials, refractories
- Heat Exchangers and Recovery Systems: Waste heat recovery at 800–1000°C
- Corrosive Media Transport: Chemical, metallurgical, and new energy sectors
- Mechanical Seals and Bearings: Medium-diameter rotating equipment
- Semiconductor and Photovoltaic Manufacturing: Ultra-pure material delivery systems
