Selected Applications of Silicon Carbide

Cutting tools either as monoUthic SiC or as composite AI2O3 + SiC whisker ceramics [Pg.436]

Wire-drawing tools Diesel particulate filters Bearings and rotary seals Cross-flow heat exchangers Recuperators for ceramic kilns Wear- and corrosion-resistant machine parts BalUstic armor [Pg.436]

Automotive appUcations, for example, as sUicon-infused carbon/carbon composite brake discs and clutch linings/plates. [Pg.436]

Heating elements and heating pipes Heat exchanger tubes Dielectric coatings [Pg.436]

Varistors, such as Ughtning arresters in electrical power systems Heterogeneous catalyst supports [Pg.436]
