SiC kiln furniture
Beams, profiles and posts
SiC kiln furniture can create a more efficient use of the available kiln space and a saving in energy due to a reduction in the thermal mass.
- No porosity, therefore excellent oxidation and corrosion resistance
- Very good thermal shock resistance
- High modulus of rupture
- Stability of shape up to the maximum operating temperature (excellent long term creep-resistance)
- Low mass
- High degree of reliability and economy in service
- High surface quality
- Clean inner surfaces (no residue from the silicon zing process)
Batts, plate-setters and lavi-setter
SiC kiln furniture has excellent stability of shape and is a material of choice for fast firing applications (e.g. tableware production). It’s proven reliability in service owes much to its high thermal conductivity and high strength.
- Excellent oxidation and corrosion resistance
- Very good thermal shock resistance (which enables shorter firing cycles)
- High modules of rupture
- Stability of shape up to the maximum operating temperature (excellent long-term creep resistance)
- More efficient use of available kiln space due to enhanced setting density
- No contamination of ware being fired
- Low mass car superstructures
- High degree of reliability and economy in service
- No porosity, therefore excellent oxidation and corrosion resistance
- Very good thermal shock resistance
- Low mass
- High degree of reliability and economy in service
- Kiln car superstructures
