There are a broad range of industrial components that must continue to function in high temperature, corrosive, or high wear environments. Silicon carbide in many cases is a material of choice to meet such operating conditions. Starfire® is offering a number of products and materials technologies that break through cost, performance and design barriers to afford manufacturers effective material solutions. Our ceramic forming molding compounds can be used to manufacture pseudo-monolithic silicon carbide parts. Similarly, ceramic matrix composites can be produced from our products where toughness is a key requirement.

The wide range of possible material compositions suggests broad industrial uses for silicon carbide, ceramic molding compound and ceramic matrix composite industrial ceramics:

• Semiconductor Hardware
• Bearings
• Mechanical Seals
• Armor
• Automotive Components
• Washers and Mechanical Seals
• Nozzles
• Thermal Components
