What are RBSiC SiSiC products?
RBSiC SiSiC products are ceramic wear-protection products made from reaction-bonded silicon carbide (RBSiC / SiSiC), used to protect equipment from abrasive and impact wear. Reaction-bonded SiC delivers density ≈ 3.1 g/cm³, hardness ≈ 2500 HV and service to ~1380°C with strong acid/alkali resistance. In mining, cement, steel, power-plant ash handling, chemical processing and lithium-battery material plants, they extend equipment life and cut maintenance.
What are RBSiC SiSiC products used for?
They protect process equipment from wear in mining, cement, steel, power-plant ash handling, chemical processing and lithium-battery material plants.
What material and properties make RBSiC SiSiC products effective?
Reaction-bonded SiC delivers density ≈ 3.1 g/cm³, hardness ≈ 2500 HV and service to ~1380°C with strong acid/alkali resistance. These properties let RBSiC SiSiC products outlast steel and rubber in abrasive service.
Why choose RBSiC SiSiC products over steel or rubber alternatives?
RBSiC SiSiC products beat alumina ceramic on abrasive duties: steel erodes in months and can contaminate product, while rubber gouges under lump impact. RBSiC SiSiC products hold dimension, cut downtime and typically last 5–10× longer in mining, cement, steel, power-plant ash handling, chemical processing and lithium-battery material plants.
How do I select and specify RBSiC SiSiC products?
Tell FIRSTAR your equipment, material and wear mode; we specify grade, size and backing to match.
What maintenance do RBSiC SiSiC products need?
Little maintenance is needed beyond periodic inspection; because they wear slowly, planned replacement during shutdowns is usually enough. FIRSTAR can advise an inspection schedule.
