Technology Application
Replacing nickel-based superalloys with SiCf/SiC ceramic matrix composites achieves a 60% weight reduction, a 200°C increase in service temperature, reduced cooling‑air consumption, and an improved thrust‑to‑weight ratio.
Replacing nickel-based superalloys with SiCf/SiC ceramic matrix composites achieves a 60% weight reduction and increases service temperature by more than 200°C, while improving the thrust-to-weight ratio and reducing cooling‑air consumption.
Leveraging the company’s Shincolon series of silicon carbide fibers, a range of ceramic precursors, and SiCf/SiC ceramic matrix composites, these products are tailored to meet the demanding conditions of marine environments—high salt‑spray exposure, high‑temperature combustion gases, strong electromagnetic fields, and seawater corrosion—and are organized into two major segments: core applications for military vessels and supporting components for civilian ships.
Reactor pressure vessel cladding and core support components: SiC fiber-reinforced composites exhibit excellent resistance to neutron irradiation and high-temperature corrosion.
Leveraging the company’s polycarbosilane, a range of ceramic precursor materials, the Shincolon series of silicon carbide fibers, and SiCf/SiC ceramic matrix composites, we serve six high‑growth civilian markets—new energy, semiconductor photovoltaics, advanced transportation, high‑end equipment, precision optics, and high‑end chemicals—meeting demanding civilian manufacturing needs for high temperature resistance, corrosion resistance, lightweight design, thermal safety, and precise dimensional stability.
Covering ten major sub‑sectors—environmental dust control, metallurgical thermal engineering, fire‑fighting and emergency response, precision measurement instruments, 3D printing, hydrogen‑energy equipment, building fire protection, medical devices, specialized electronics, and scientific research and testing equipment—this technology leverages the high‑temperature resistance, corrosion resistance, flame retardancy, lightweight properties, and tunable electromagnetic characteristics of SiC fibers, various ceramic precursors, and SiCf/SiC composites to enable practical applications.
