FAQ

What are the core advantages of silicon carbide ceramic balls compared with traditional metal balls?

Silicon carbide ceramic balls have ultra-high hardness, lightweight high strength, excellent chemical stability and good thermal stability, outperforming traditional metal balls in wear resistance, inertia reduction, corrosion resistance and stable performance under extreme temperatures.

Silicon carbide ceramic balls are widely used in precision bearings, mechanical sealing, grinding and polishing, aerospace equipment and new energy industry components that require high performance in harsh working conditions.

The main preparation process includes preparing high-purity silicon carbide slurry, forming green bodies via cold isostatic pressing or injection molding, drying and degreasing, high-temperature sintering and precision finishing to meet dimensional and surface requirements.

Key performance indicators include hardness and wear resistance, density and porosity, roundness and surface roughness, bending strength and fracture toughness, as well as thermal conductivity and thermal expansion coefficient.

The main limitations and challenges are high brittleness, high production cost, difficult precision processing and poor resistance to sudden temperature changes in practical applications.
