Unpressurized Silicon Carbide Nozzle:high hardness, wear resistance, and corrosion resistance

The unpressurized silicon carbide nozzle is a type of ceramic nozzle made from silicon carbide through a sintering process without applied pressure. It exhibits excellent high hardness, wear resistance, and corrosion resistance. The maximum operating temperature can reach 2500°C. The unpressurized sintering process endows the nozzle with a uniform microstructure and a high cost-performance ratio, making it suitable for various demanding working conditions.

    Excellent abrasion resistance

    High hardness basis: The Mohs hardness of silicon carbide is as high as 9.2-9.3, and its microhardness is much higher than that of cemented carbide and alumina ceramics.
    This makes the nozzle effectively resistant to direct scouring and cutting wear of high-speed particles such as emery, glass beads, steel shots, etc.


    Extremely long service life: Under the same working conditions, its wear life is more than 10 times that of tungsten steel (cemented carbide) nozzles and 5-8 times that of alumina ceramic nozzles, which is close to the level of hot-pressed boron carbide nozzles.The frequency of downtime and replacement is greatly reduced, the production efficiency is improved, and the comprehensive cost of use is reduced.

    Corrosion resistance and chemical stability

    Acid-base resistance to acid and alkali attack: silicon carbide is a compound with extremely strong covalent bonds and extremely stable chemical properties. It does not react with any known acid, alkali and salt solutions at room temperature, and can withstand the erosion of strong acids, strong alkali and various corrosive solvents for a long time.


    Suitable for complex chemical environments: This property makes it particularly good in strong corrosion conditions such as wet sandblasting in the chemical industry, chemical spraying in wastewater treatment plants, and lime slurry injection in flue gas desulfurization (FGD), without structural damage or performance degradation due to chemical corrosion.

    Unique advantages brought by the no-pressure sintering process

    High Density and Uniformity: Through precisely controlled sintering aids and processes, our pressureless sintered silicon carbide achieves a density close to theoretical values (>98%), with a uniform structure and no internal defects, ensuring consistent performance.


    Complex shapes and large sizes can be manufactured: Compared with hot press sintering, the pressureless sintering process is easier to prepare nozzle products with complex shapes and larger sizes, meeting the diverse needs of customers.


    Cost-effective: Pressureless sintering avoids expensive hot-pressing molds and extremely high equipment costs, and provides a much more competitive price than hot-pressed sintered boron carbide and reactive sintered silicon carbide while maintaining excellent performance.

    Industrial Sandblasting and Cleaning

    Used for rust removal and cleaning of hulls, steel structures, and containers, as well as casting sand removal and metal surface strengthening (shot peening). This is the core wear-resistant component of sandblasting equipment, providing a long-lasting and stable flow of abrasives.


    High-pressure water jet cutting (water jet)

    As a water jet nozzle, it can efficiently focus ultra-high pressure water streams (exceeding 4000 bar) for cutting metals, stones, glass, and composite materials, with an extremely long lifespan.


    Energy and Combustion Technology

    Used as fuel or gas nozzles for gas turbines and industrial burners, resistant to high-temperature flame erosion and thermal shock.


    Metallurgy and Mining


    Used for slurry transportation and as injectors in flotation processes, these are wear-resistant and corrosion-resistant.
