SiC (silicon carbide) sintered bodies are widely used in semiconductor manufacturing equipment and other applications due to their excellent properties such as chemical resistance, heat resistance, and high thermal conductivity. In recent years, with the advancement of product requirements, there has been a demand for higher density in sintered body components. However, since SiC is a difficult-to-sinter material, producing high-density SiC sintered bodies poses challenges, such as the need for temperature environments around 2000°C, which places a high load on equipment. In response to these challenges, our company has developed α-type silicon carbide, GC#40000. This product consists of ultra-fine particles with an average particle diameter of 250 nm, allowing for higher activation energy during sintering, which enables sintering at lower temperatures than conventional methods. Additionally, under the same temperature conditions, it is possible to achieve a denser and more compact sintered body. Furthermore, GC#40000 achieves a high purity of 99.9% as α-type SiC, contributing to the production of high-purity sintered bodies. If you have any of the following challenges, please feel free to contact us: - I want to improve the density of sintered bodies. - I want to reduce the firing temperature to decrease the power consumption of the firing furnace. - I want to sinter SiC in the current firing furnace, but the maximum temperature of the furnace is insufficient.

SiC (silicon carbide) has a hardness second only to diamond and is also very stable chemically at room temperature. Due to these properties, it is applied as an additive in wear-resistant coatings and plating additives. In recent years, the heat generation of electronic devices has become a problem due to the high functionality of communication and mobility, leading to increased expectations for heat dissipation materials, and SiC is also being used as a heat dissipation filler. Our SiC (silicon carbide) GC series consists of α-type green silicon carbide and has the following characteristics: 1) Lineup: Ultra-fine particles with an average particle size of 250nm to 58μm 2) Sharp particle size distribution: Our unique classification technology 3) High purity 【Expected Applications】 - SiC sintered body raw materials (industrial machine parts, semiconductor manufacturing equipment parts) - Filler materials (thermal conductivity, heat dissipation, wear resistance, heat resistance) - Grinding wheels - Blasting materials

We developed prepreg by combining the powder technology cultivated in our abrasive manufacturing, the slurry technology for dispersing powders, and the sheet-making technology for creating homogeneous sheets. By sintering the prepreg, it becomes a Ceramic Matrix Composite (CMC). Since CMC is composed of ceramic components such as silicon carbide, it offers better heat resistance and is lighter than existing heat-resistant alloys. An example of CMC using our prepreg, SiC/SiC, demonstrates superior fatigue characteristics at high temperatures above 1200°C compared to existing metals and CMCs. 【Features】 - Expected reduction in production costs and simplification of processes compared to conventional CMCs. - Ability to prototype prepregs tailored to specific purposes/applications. - Support not only for prepregs but also for our powder technology, slurry technology, and sheet-making technology. 【Expected Applications】 - Aerospace sector: combustion chambers, turbine blades, shrouds, nozzles. - Energy sector: fusion reactors, cladding tubes, channel boxes. - Automotive sector: brake discs, friction materials, exhaust systems. - Machine tool sector: crucibles, setters, bearings, large tables.

Silicon carbide (SiC) is a high-performance heat dissipation material that is gaining attention in the field of electronic materials. In addition to its excellent thermal conductivity, it possesses heat resistance, wear resistance, and chemical resistance, demonstrating high effectiveness even in areas where conventional boron nitride and aluminum nitride do not provide sufficient performance. In particular, the rounded SiC filler with beveled edges achieves high fillability and fluidity. It easily disperses uniformly in resins and adhesives, enabling a balance between processability and thermal performance in thermal interface materials (TIM) such as heat dissipation sheets, heat dissipation grease, heat dissipation adhesives, and heat dissipation gap fillers. Furthermore, this rounded shape is expected to reduce stress concentration and contribute to the long-term reliability of components. Applications extend to a wide range of fields where heat management is crucial, including inverters for electric vehicles, onboard power modules, LED substrates, and communication devices. The rounded SiC filler, with its significant potential as a next-generation thermal management material, serves as a powerful solution for development challenges that require both heat dissipation and reliability.
