SiC Ceramic
Foam

The Silicon Carbide ceramic foam has a three-dimensional network connectivity structure. It has a large specific surface area, high permeability, and high specific strength, which can enhance mass transfer and heat transfer.

Technical Specifications

Physical

Density: 3.1–3.2 g/cm³

Hardness: 9–9.5 (Mohs scale)

Thermal

Thermal conductivity: 47 W/(m · K)

Melting point: 2,700°C

Chemical

Corrosion Resistance:

SiC is highly resistant to chemical attack, particularly in acidic or alkaline environments, making it suitable for harsh environments.

Oxidation Resistance:

While SiC is highly resistant to oxidation at lower temperatures, it can oxidize at elevated temperatures, especially above 1,000°C, forming a protective SiO₂ layer.

Chemical Stability:

It remains stable under many aggressive conditions, including exposure to various gases, molten metals, and corrosive liquids.

Mechanical

Compressive strength: 60 MPa

Young’s modulus: 380 GPa

Fracture toughness: 3-5 MPa · m1/2

Performance
and Simulations

Fast and Even Liquid Dispersion

The ceramic foam packing is made with our patented technology, which generates interconnected 3D pore structure with adjustable pore size and porosity. The result is a very high specific surface area and distallation efficiency.
