A silicon carbide coating over a carbon foam base combines the hardness, chemical resistance, and high temperatures silicon carbide is known for with the lightweight versaitility of foam. It’s often used for cores in composite layers and to filter molten metals and corrosive liquids.

Sintering creates strong inner bonds, making this version of silicon carbide more resistant to wear and chemicals than other forms of silicon carbide as well as most ceramics.

Often used as kiln shelves and refractory bricks, you can repeatedly move these mullite ceramic sheets between very hot and cold environments without deforming or cracking.

One of the few known materials that both draw heat away from hot spots and block electrical currents, aluminum nitride ceramic sheets are great for heat sinks and other electronic components.

Pressed into ultra-dense sheets, these silicon-nitride ceramic sheets resist deforming, expanding, or cracking when compressed, bent, or exposed to quick temperature changes. They’re just as strong and fracture resistant as zirconia ceramic, and hold their strength and shape at higher temperatures.
