Material Grades

Two Silicon Carbide Grades for Two Different Duties

Choose the grade by chemistry and service temperature. Both grades are made in house from powder through to finished ground and polished parts.

Pressureless Sintered Silicon Carbide

Pressureless Sintered Silicon Carbide

Pressureless sintered silicon carbide (SSiC) parts made from high purity, ultrafine SiC powder. Seal rings, nozzles and wear sleeves for service in high concentrations of acid or alkali medium.

Reaction Bonded Silicon Carbide

Reaction Bonded Silicon Carbide

Reaction bonded sintered silicon carbide (RBSiC) products — an economical grade with excellent wear characteristics and good chemical resistance for medium acid or mild alkaline medium.

What Problem We Solve

Seal Faces That Survive High Speed Rotation Sand and Acid

Waste water pumps mine discharge pumps centrifugal pumps centrifuges and slurry pumps all fail at the seal first. Silicon carbide faces answer that.

Problems It Solves

  • Seal faces worn away by sand flush abrasion in slurry service
  • Corrosion of seal faces in high concentrations of acid or alkali medium
  • Short life of pump shaft sleeves under high speed rotation
  • Nozzle erosion under high pressure vibration sand and slurry impacting
  • Kiln furniture that cannot take repeated thermal shock

Why Customers Choose Us

  • Manufacturing from raw material in powder form to finished OEM part
  • Products manufactured locally in Guanghan for timely supply
  • Quality remains the No.1 key to success and our highest priority
  • Experienced manufacturing network for a wide range of solutions
  • Greater value for your manufacturing dollars

Manufacturing Process

From Silicon Carbide Powder to a Finished Seal Face

1

Powder Preparation

Production begins with the raw materials in powder form, prepared on the spray granulator.

2

Forming

The prepared powder is formed into green parts on the dry press.

3

Sintering

High temperature vacuum sintering in the sintering stove.

4

Grinding And Polishing

CNC grinding and polishing bring the seal faces to final geometry.

5

Testing

Hardness testing and physical testing before the parts are released.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What Does GLT Material Make
Sintered silicon carbide mechanical seal rings, sintered silicon carbide nozzles, sintered silicon carbide wear sleeves and reaction bonded sintered silicon carbide products.
Who Do You Supply
Carbide fabricators and OEM producers. Production begins with the raw materials in powder form to produce a sintered carbide component that achieves all OEM specifications.
Which Industries Use Your Products
Machinery, metallurgy, chemical, pump valve, automobile, petroleum, defence, aerospace and other fields.
What Is The Difference Between SSiC And RBSiC
SSiC has almost no free silicon, which makes it most resistant to chemically-aggressive fluids and ideal for high temperature applications, with a maximum service temperature in air of 1600 °C. RBSiC is a very economical material with excellent wear characteristics and good chemical resistance, for medium acid or mild alkaline medium, up to 1000 °C.
Can You Work To Our Drawings
Yes. We produce the products according to the drawings and requirements of our customers, and we also recommend, design and develop new types against the customer needs.
Where Is The Factory
Industries Zone, GaoPing Town, GuangHan, SiChuan, China.
