SiC High-Temperature Fixtures
High-temperature silicon carbide tie rods, fixtures and creep extension rods with a maximum application temperature of 1800°C have the following benefits:
High temperature resistance: conventional high-temperature alloy fixtures often suffer from severe surface oxidation during prolonged high-temperature testing. HuaCera® sintered silicon carbide fixtures can be used in environments below 1800℃, offering long temperature resistance, slow oxidation rate, and stable performance.
HuaCera® silicon carbide has a low coefficient of thermal expansion, ensuring not only strength but also minimal thermal deformation of the fixtures under high-temperature conditions.
Prevention of welding between specimen and fixture: conventional high-temperature alloy fixtures often experience welding between the specimen and fixture due to high-temperature oxidation during prolonged tests. Using high-temperature silicon carbide fixtures completely avoids such incidents, making testing more convenient and efficient.
Silicon carbide fixtures have become an indispensable component of high-temperature testing fixtures due to their excellent stiffness, minimal creep, and strong thermal stability. This is crucial for precise deformation measurement in material testing, especially in advanced fields such as aero-engine and nuclear power material testing equipment.
The inherent stiffness and thermal stability of silicon carbide ceramics help achieve high-precision measurements, which is essential for accurately monitoring material behavior under stress. This ensures reliable and consistent data in critical material research and testing scenarios.
