Material Applications
Ceralloy® 146 Sintered Silicon Carbide (SSC) is a fully dense material
that can be produced in a cost effective manner to complex net shapes. This grade
of silicon carbide is characterized as exhibiting both hardness and toughness and
is used primarily for
Vehicle Armor Systems
Industrial
Ceralloy® 146 Hot Pressed Silicon Carbide (HPSC) can be formulated
into a variety of compositions having minimal densification aids. The final properties
can be formulated by altering the amount and type of densification aids. Finished
components are machined at Ceradyne’s precision diamond grinding facility. Products
produced from HPSC are:
