FAQs

What makes ultra-low oxidation silicon nitride-bonded silicon carbide different from standard silicon carbide refractories?

The silicon nitride bond actively enhances oxidation resistance, shielding the refractory matrix at high temperatures. Unlike conventional silicon carbide materials, ultra-low oxidation grades maintain structural integrity for longer in aggressive operating environments.

How does improved oxidation resistance benefit high-temperature processes?

Improved oxidation resistance slows material degradation, extends service life, and reduces maintenance demands. It also minimises unplanned downtime, giving operators greater process stability and lower overall operating costs.

In which industries are ultra low oxidation silicon nitride bonded silicon carbide refractories commonly used?

Typical applications include:

• Waste-to-energy facilities where components are exposed to oxidising atmospheres.
• Kiln furniture in ceramics production requiring long service cycles.
• Other thermal processing equipment operating in oxidising atmospheres at high temperatures.

How does this material perform under mechanical and thermal stress?

Silicon nitride bonded silicon carbide delivers outstanding mechanical strength, abrasion resistance, and thermal stability. Its ultra low oxidation formulation protects these properties during prolonged exposure to oxidising atmospheres and repeated heating cycles, ensuring long-term reliability.

Can ZEROX products be manufactured to specific operational requirements?

Yes. Engineers can design and produce ZEROX shapes and formulations to match the geometry, atmosphere, and temperature profile of each application. This adaptability ensures optimal performance in kiln furniture, incinerator linings, and other demanding high-temperature processes.
