SiC Kiln furniture

SiC kiln furniture can create a more efficient use of the available kiln space and a saving in energy due to a reduction in the thermal mass.

  • No porosity, therefore excellent oxidation and corrosion resistance 
  • Very good thermal shock resistance 
  • High modulus of rupture 
  • Stability of shape up to the maximum operating temperature (excellent long term creep-resistance) 
  • Low mass 
  • High degree of reliability and economy in service 
  • High surface quality 
  • Clean inner surfaces (no residue from the silicon zing process)

Batts, plate-setters and lavi-setter

SiC kiln furniture has excellent stability of shape and is a material of choice for fast firing applications (e.g. tableware production). It’s proven reliability in service owes much to its high thermal conductivity and high strength.

  • Excellent oxidation and corrosion resistance
  • Very good thermal shock resistance (which enables shorter firing cycles)
  • High modules of rupture
  • Stability of shape up to the maximum operating temperature (excellent long-term creep resistance)
  • More efficient use of available kiln space due to enhanced setting density
  • No contamination of ware being fired
  • Low mass car superstructures
  • High degree of reliability and economy in service
  • No porosity, therefore excellent oxidation and corrosion resistance
  • Very good thermal shock resistance
  • Low mass
  • High degree of reliability and economy in service
  • Kiln car superstructures
