1.1 Crystal Chemistry and Bonding Characteristics
(Silicon Carbide Crucibles)
Silicon carbide (SiC) is a covalent ceramic made up of silicon and carbon atoms arranged in a tetrahedral latticework, mostly in hexagonal (4H, 6H) or cubic (3C) polytypes, each exhibiting phenomenal atomic bond stamina.
The Si– C bond, with a bond power of about 318 kJ/mol, is among the greatest in structural porcelains, giving superior thermal security, solidity, and resistance to chemical strike.
This durable covalent network leads to a product with a melting factor going beyond 2700 ° C(sublimes), making it one of the most refractory non-oxide ceramics available for high-temperature applications.
Unlike oxide ceramics such as alumina, SiC preserves mechanical stamina and creep resistance at temperatures over 1400 ° C, where numerous steels and conventional ceramics start to soften or break down.
Its reduced coefficient of thermal growth (~ 4.0 × 10 ⁻⁶/ K) integrated with high thermal conductivity (80– 120 W/(m · K)) enables rapid thermal biking without tragic fracturing, an important attribute for crucible efficiency.
These inherent homes come from the balanced electronegativity and comparable atomic dimensions of silicon and carbon, which advertise a very stable and largely packed crystal structure.
1.2 Microstructure and Mechanical Strength
Silicon carbide crucibles are generally produced from sintered or reaction-bonded SiC powders, with microstructure playing a decisive role in longevity and thermal shock resistance.
Sintered SiC crucibles are created with solid-state or liquid-phase sintering at temperature levels over 2000 ° C, frequently with boron or carbon additives to boost densification and grain boundary communication.
This procedure generates a fully dense, fine-grained structure with minimal porosity (
