Batts, Plate-Setters and Lavi-Setter

Process modifications implementing an increased degree of automation and aimed at realizing energy savings are introducing a wide range of potential applications to technical SiC ceramics in various market segments. Their use allows a reduction in thermal mass and a more efficient use of available space. Car SIK kiln furniture has excellent stability of shape and is a material of choice for fast firing applications (e.g. tableware production). Its proven reliability in service owes much to its high thermal conductivity and high strength.

Advantages:

• 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
• High degree of reliability and economy in service
