Silicon carbide oxytron oxide bonded silicon carbide material

Oxide Bonded Silicon Carbide

OXYTRON™ Oxide Bonded Silicon Carbide is designed for exceptional wear and corrosion resistance. It can be formed into very intricate and precise shapes with the Blasch process. OXYTRON has desirable refractory and chemical properties. It also exhibits exceptional oxidation and thermal shock resistance.

 

ADVANTAGES OF OXYTRON™
  • The best first step for replacing metallic components
  • One-third the weight and a smoother surface than cast iron
  • Dimensional tolerance and superior thermal shock and oxidation resistance
  • Low cost/ high volume
