Advantages of Silicon Carbide Roller

 

 

High temperature resistance
Silicon carbide rollers can withstand extremely high temperatures, making them ideal for use in industries like glass manufacturing, ceramics, and semiconductor production. The maximum service temperature of silicon carbide can reach up to 970 k (1286.33 °f).


Excellent thermal conductivity
Silicon carbide's thermal conductivity ranges from 3.8 to 20.7 w/m.K. This high thermal conductivity allows these rollers to quickly dissipinate heat, reducing the risk of thermal damage and ensuring more uniform heating across the surface of the material being processed.


Superior wear resistance
Silicon carbide is highly resistant to wear and tear, which is a critical attribute in industries where rollers are subject to constant use and high mechanical stress. This wear resistance contributes to the long service life of silicon carbide rollers, which can result in cost savings over time.


High hardness
The hardness of silicon carbide ranges from 600 to 3800 mpa, which is much higher than most metals. This hardness contributes to the wear resistance and durability of silicon carbide rollers.


Dimensional stability
Silicon carbide rollers exhibit superior dimensional stability, maintaining their shape and size even under high temperatures and pressures. This ensures consistent performance and quality in manufacturing processes.


Low thermal expansion
Silicon carbide has a relatively low coefficient of thermal expansion (7.9-11 10^-6/k), meaning it doesn't expand or contract much with temperature changes. This stability is crucial in high-temperature applications and helps to maintain the integrity of the roller and the materials being processed.

Manufacturing Process of Silicon Carbide Rollers

 

The production of SiC rollers typically involves three main steps:

Silicon Carbide Roller

Powder Production

The process begins with the production of high-purity silicon carbide powder, which is often a combination of silicon and carbon precursors. These precursors undergo a series of chemical reactions to form fine SiC particles.

Sic Roller

Shaping

The SiC powder is then mixed with binders and pressed into the desired shape using various techniques, such as dry pressing or isostatic pressing. This forms a green body, which is a compacted, unsintered product.

Silicon Carbide Roller

Sintering

The green body is heated to high temperatures in a controlled atmosphere, allowing the SiC particles to bond together and form a dense, strong structure. This process, known as sintering, results in the final silicon carbide roller.

 

 

How to Store Silicon Carbide Roller

 

 

Silicon carbide roller as an important raw material for production, many customers in the purchase of silicon carbide roller when the price of silicon carbide roller will be low when a large number of stocks, in order to use, such an approach is better, not only to reduce production costs can also avoid market risks, but after the purchase of a large number of silicon carbide roller, silicon carbide roller storage is very important, although silicon carbide roller does not have a shelf life can be stored for a long time, but if the storage method is not appropriate, it the quality of silicon carbide roller will be affected if stored improperly.

 

Orderly storage, the same batch number as far as possible in rows, to avoid mistakes in the process of taking materials. Silicon carbide roller micro powder has a strong moisture absorption, try to avoid removing the moisture-proof film storage; this can avoid moisture agglomeration, shorten the drying time.

 

As far as possible to use the principle of first-in first-out material, to avoid clumping of raw materials due to excessive storage time. If the ultra-fine silicon carbide roller powder in transit broken packaging, try to store separately to avoid dust pollution. It is recommended that the warehouse as far as possible closed, stored separately, and pay attention to moisture, wind and rain.

 

 

 
 
What Should We Pay Attention to When Installing and Replacing Silicon Carbide Roller
 
 

Silicon carbide rollers have the advantages of small high-temperature deformation, fast heating, etc. And as electric heating elements, silicon carbide rollers are easier to install and maintain than others, which are convenient, safe and reliable.

 

Silicon carbide rollers are widely used in high-temperature fields such as electronics, magnetic materials, powder metallurgy, ceramics, glass, semiconductors, analytical testing, scientific research, etc., and have become electric heating elements for tunnel kilns, roller kilns, glass kilns, vacuum furnaces, muffle furnaces, smelting furnaces and various heating equipment.

 
 

The installation and maintenance of silicon carbide rollers are relatively convenient, but there are also some operations that need to be paid attention to during the installation and use process: When installing silicon carbide rollers, both ends should be covered with sleeves made of insulation cotton to separate the silicon carbide rollers and the electrode bricks, otherwise the silicon carbide rollers and the electrode bricks will be stuck by the glass volatiles.

 

The heat resistance temperature of the sleeve must adapt to the temperature of the feeding channel. If the heat resistance temperature is too low, the sleeve will melt and corrode the silicon carbide roller after melting, and it will also stick the rod, making it difficult to replace the silicon carbide roller.

 
 

The rod hole must be aligned correctly to ensure that the rod can rotate 360° freely after installation, and the rod must not be jammed.


A certain safety distance must be ensured between the silicon carbide roller and the channel cover plate and the material liquid level. The rod is too close to the cover plate will cause local overheating of both; the rod is too close to the material liquid level, which will increase the corrosion of the glass volatiles on the rod. The rod may deform and bend and easily contact with the liquid level, causing the glass liquid to be electrified.

 
 

In principle, the silicon carbide rollers should be replaced as a whole group to avoid mixing new and old rods. However, in practice, most manufacturers are reluctant to do so. It is troublesome and wasteful. A more feasible method is to pull out the broken rod under the premise that the temperature can be guaranteed. Plug the rod hole without installing a new rod. When a broken rod occurs next time, do the same.

 

When the temperature does not meet the requirements, pull out all remaining rods in the group and replace them with a new group of rods. If the transformer has been adjusted to high voltage gear , it should be adjusted back to the lowest gear before sending electricity for heating. Save the unbroken silicon carbide rollers that are removed and use them together with old rods next time (of course, it is best to measure each rod's voltage , current , calculate each rod's resistance before removing it , mark it on one end of each rod , so that they can be grouped according to resistance values).
