Silicon carbide uses in the aerospace industry
The uses of silicon carbide in the aerospace industry include:
1. Coatings or ceramic composite materials made into high-temperature resistant parts,
The parts can withstand high-temperature gas erosion in high-temperature combustion chambers and nozzles, maintain strength and stiffness in high-temperature environments,the spacecraft engines often use it
2. As a thermal protection and insulation material,
Prevent the spacecraft from being burned by high-temperature gas or light and improve the success rate of mission execution.
3. Used to encapsulate electronic components to keep them stable in high-temperature environments, thereby improving the reliability and lifespan of the spacecraft.
