SSiC and SiC Silicon Carbide Parts
Seal faces and sleeves for abrasive slurry and hot corrosive duty
The 1 Product in This Family
Silicon carbide is the answer when abrasion and heat arrive together. Rings, cylinders and sleeves are ground to plus or minus 0.005 mm, handle high temperature service at 1200 degrees with good thermal shock behaviour, and resist acid attack at elevated temperature. This is the seal face material for pumps that chew through alumina.
Problems This Family Solves
- Mechanical seals leaking early because the face pair was not matched
- Alumina sleeves wearing through in abrasive slurry service
- Seal faces degrading in hot acidic media
Core Advantages
- Ground tolerance of plus or minus 0.005 mm on seal and sleeve features
- High temperature resistance at 1200 degrees
- Very high hardness with high corrosion resistance
- High density body with good chemical stability
Who Buys This Family

SSIC SiC Parts FAQ
What tolerance do you hold on SiC parts?
Plus or minus 0.005 mm on ground features.
Is SiC better than alumina for a pump seal?
If the medium is abrasive or hot, yes. For clean cool duty alumina is usually the economic choice.
Can you supply matched face pairs?
Yes. Faces are supplied together so the pair is matched.
What temperature can SiC handle?
High temperature resistance of 1200 degrees, with good behaviour under rapid temperature change.
