EKasic HW silicon carbide, on the other hand, is a dense material with a predominantly coarse-grained, bimodal platelet structure and graphite particles of 40-60 pm in size (see Fig. 31). This new tribological material, which is still in its test phase, should be particularly suitable for mechanical seals and sliding bearings in applications in contact with hot water containing solids.
