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
