With silicon carbide ceramics the material properties remain constant up to temperatures above 1,400°C. The high Young’s modulus > 400 GPa ensures excellent dimensional stability. These material properties make silicon carbide predestined for use as a construction material. Silicon carbide masters corrosion, abrasion and erosion as skillfully as it stands up to frictional wear. Components are used in chemical plants, mills, expanders and extruders or as nozzles, for example.

Silicon carbide ceramics are also ideal for use in demanding conditions in 3D printing, ballistics, chemical production, energy technology, paper manufacturing and as pipe system components. Silicon carbide is also a convincing material for various components in the semiconductor industry.

Silicon carbide is toxicologically safe and can be used in the food industry. Another typical application for silicon carbide components is dynamic sealing technology using friction bearings and mechanical seals, for instance in pumps and drive systems. Compared to metals, silicon carbide enables highly economical solutions with longer tool life when used with aggressive, high-temperature media.

Each presenter is authorized to have up to two (2) local TMAS course managers. If additional course managers are required, a written request must be made, with justification, to the TMAS Helpdesk. Each course manager must meet the following criteria:

POST has provided presenters of its certified basic courses with access to Internet-based testing software, known as the Testing Management and Assessment System (TMAS). This system supports online testing only and is used to deliver and score comprehensive tests.

Silicon carbide behaves almost like a diamond. It is not only the lightest, but also the hardest ceramic material and has excellent thermal conductivity, low thermal expansion and is very resistant to acids and lyes. The variants SSiC (sintered silicon carbide) and SiSiC (silicon infiltrated silicon carbide) have established themselves. The latter is particularly suitable for the production of complex large-volume components.
