What is Aluminum Silicon Carbide?Silicon carbide can be found in common grinding wheels, blades, and aluminum silicon carbide. It is harder than corundum but less hard than cubic boron, boron carbide and diamond. This ceramic material is a good substrate for composites because of its high modulus, and thermal conductivity. This type of silicon carbide is used to make AlSiC (aluminium-silicon carbide) materials. This silicon carbide is used in composite materials to provide high thermal conductivity.

Silicon aluminum carbide for industrial use
In industrial manufacturing silicon carbide is first made into preforms (ceramics) that are shaped like the final products. This preform differs from normal silicon carbide ceramics because it has many permeable pores. The aluminum-silicon carbide is formed by hydraulically casting molten aluminium into the micropores in a vacuum environment using special equipment. The aluminum silicon carbide material has the advantage that it combines ceramics with the low thermal expand coefficient and thermal conductivity of aluminum. It also has the strength of cast-iron. Its performance and price are superior to tungsten. It is also able to form large and complex shapes, which tungsten can't.

Sintered ceramics with low temperature oxidation of silicon Aluminum Carbide
In the common method of low temperature oxidation sintering, a thick layer of silica will be formed on the surface silicon carbide. This will severely affect the thermal conduction of the material. The thermal conductivity for the material at room temperatures cannot exceed 180W/mK. Our self-developed process for manufacturing ceramic preforms has a silicon dioxide content that is only 1/8 the amount of conventional methods, yet the thermal conductivity surpasses 240W/mK.

Price of Aluminum Silicon Carbide
Aluminum silicon carbide's cost is also affected by the size of the particles and their purity. The price of a large quantity will be lower. On our official website, you can find the price of Aluminum Silicon Carbide.
