Search by Part No. allows for look-up of any SKF CR Seals Part Number that is part of the current CR Seals Handbook. Just enter the part number and click Search. The desired displayed units of Inch or Millimeters can be selected. This search feature will also link any old / superseded part number to their current CR Seals Part Number. Clicking the part numbers that appear will bring up a detail page with dimensions and, in many cases, a product cross-section view and picture.

Boron Carbide (B4C), also known as black diamond, is the third hardest material after diamond and cubic boron nitride. It is a suitable material for many high performance applications due to its attractive combination of properties.

Within the current range of advanced ceramics available from Precision Ceramics are two of the hardest materials known to man. Only surpassed by diamond itself, Boron Carbide and Silicon Carbide over the years have earned the distinguished title of “Super Hard Ceramics”.

DuraShock is a Boron Carbide / Silicon Carbide ceramic composite, developed to give the very best combination of high ballistic performance and weight saving considerations.

Silicon Carbide has properties remarkably similar to those of diamond – it is one of the lightest, hardest, and strongest technical ceramic materials and has exceptional thermal conductivity, resistance to acids, and low thermal expansion. Silicon Carbide is an excellent material to use when physical wear is an important consideration because it exhibits good erosion and abrasive resistance, making it useful in a variety of applications including the following:

Silicon carbideformula

Silicon Carbide can be machined in green, biscuit, or fully dense states. While in the green or biscuit form, it can be machined relatively easily into complex geometries. However, the sintering process that is required to fully densify the material causes the Silicon Carbide body to shrink approximately 20%. This shrinkage means that it is impossible to hold very tight tolerances when machining Silicon Carbide pre-sintering. In order to achieve very tight tolerances, fully sintered material must be machined/ground with diamond tools.  In this process, a very precise diamond coated tool/wheel is used to abrade away the material until the desired form is created. Due to the inherit toughness and hardness of the material, this can be a time-consuming and costly process. Like both oxides and nitrides, silicon carbide is a very hard-wearing material which requires diamond-grinding methods to process once fired.

Examples are: searching for part 1234* will return parts that start with 1234 regardless of part number length. Searching for part 1234? Will return parts that start with 1234, but will only return part numbers that are no longer than 5 characters long.

Silicon Carbide is an excellent material to use when physical wear is an important consideration because it exhibits good erosion and abrasive resistance, making it useful in a variety of applications such as spray nozzles, shot blast nozzles, and cyclone components.
