Shenango Rx
Recrystallized SiC is a direct bonded SiC which provides high strength at elevated temperatures up to 1600ºC. Thermal shock resistance is excellent as is oxidation resistance. RX may be formed into complex thin-walled shapes, as well as large tubes, hollow beams, rolls, and plates.
Shenango RX is used as a structual ceramic, burner and heater tubes, and trays and saggers for powder processing.
