  • Item: Si₃N₄-SiC Brick

Core Advantages

Exceptional High-Temperature Stability

With a maximum service temperature of 1600℃ and refractoriness up to 1750℃, the silicon nitride bonded silicon carbide brick maintains structural integrity and stable performance under long-term high-temperature operation, without deformation or cracking even in extreme thermal environments.

Superior Wear & Corrosion Resistance

High-purity SiC aggregate (content ≥85%) and dense Si₃N₄ bonding phase form a robust structure, which can resist severe wear from high-speed airflow, dust, and molten media, as well as erosion from acidic, alkaline, and reducing atmospheres.

Excellent Thermal Shock Resistance

Low thermal expansion coefficient (3.5–4.5×10⁻⁶/℃) enables the brick to withstand frequent cold-heat cycles (1100℃ water quenching test ≥25 times) without peeling or damage, adapting to intermittent operation equipment.

High Structural Strength & Long Service Life

The unique Si₃N₄ bonding system enhances the brick's compressive strength (≥35MPa) and flexural strength (≥8MPa), making it not easy to break during installation and use. Its service life is 2–3 times longer than that of ordinary silicon carbide bricks.
