SISIC Kiln Tubes

High Strength Tubes For High-temperature Kilns

Sisic kiln tubes provide excellent strength, thermal shock resistance, and oxidation stability—ideal for roller kilns and thermal processing of ceramics, powders, and catalysts.

SiSiC kiln tubes are advanced high-temperature ceramic components made from reaction bonded silicon carbide (RBSiC or SiSiC). These tubes are widely used in continuous kilns, roller kilns, and tunnel kilns, particularly in powder metallurgy, ceramic sintering, lithium battery cathode materials, and chemical catalyst manufacturing.

SiSiC offers an ideal combination of high thermal conductivity, excellent oxidation resistance, low thermal expansion, and superior mechanical strength under extreme temperatures—making it far more durable and efficient than alumina or mullite tubes.

High-performance kiln tubes made from reaction bonded silicon carbide (RBSiC/SiSiC), designed for extreme temperature stability in powder metallurgy, ceramic sintering, lithium battery materials, and catalyst processing.

High Thermal Conductivity

Ensures efficient heat transfer and uniform temperature distribution in continuous kilns.

Oxidation & Corrosion Resistant

Withstands aggressive gases and prolonged thermal cycling without degradation.

Dimensional Stability

Low thermal expansion maintains precise alignment under fluctuating high temperatures.

Custom Machining

Options include open/closed ends, flanged or stepped designs, and precision holes or grooves.

Modular Assembly

Compatible with alumina seals, insulation sleeves, and metal connectors for system integration.

Operational Efficiency

Reduces maintenance cycles and boosts kiln performance in high-demand thermal systems.

Key Advantages

Silicon carbide products are an advanced material widely used in high temperature, high pressure and high frequency environments.:

High Strength

Composite structure with ordinary steel outer wall meets strength requirements for various industrial processes.

Exceptional Wear Resistance

Inner ceramic layer (≥95% content) provides 30x better wear resistance than carbon steel pipes.

Corrosion Immunity

Corrosion-resistant composite layer enables use in acid, alkali, and salt environments.

High Bond Strength

Organic polymer matrix with inorganic ceramic reinforcement provides 14-16 MPa peeling strength (100x stronger than ordinary lining).

Wide Temperature Range

Continuous operation from 40°C to 200°C, with peak resistance up to 260°C.

Extended Service Life

Elbows show no significant wear after 1-2 years, outperforming thick-walled cast steel by nearly 10x.

Performance Comparison

Silicon carbide ceramic-lined pipes offer superior performance compared to traditional materials:

  • Carbon Steel Pipes 30x less wear resistance
  • Wear-Resistant Alloy Cast Steel 10x less wear resistance
  • Cast Stone Pipes Brittle, prone to cracking
  • Rubber-Lined Pipes Limited temperature resistance
