SSiC - Sintered SiC

Boostec® Silicon Carbide Parts

Mersen Boostec offers assistance to its customers for the design of their SiC parts to ensure better feasibility, mitigate risks and also reduce cost and lead times.

Mersen Boostec is specialized in the development of innovative products in sintered silicon carbide.

For some applications, the silicon carbide can receive a CVD (chemical vapor deposition) coating to give a completely non-porous high-purity SiC surface.

An advanced ceramic with many key advantages

• high purity composition
• isotropic physical properties
• low density
• very high mechanical strength and stiffness (420 GPa)
• insensitivity to mechanical fatigue
• high thermal conductivity (180 W/m/K)
• low Coefficient of Thermal Expansion (CTE)
• exceptional resistance to corrosive and abrasive environments.

Mersen has held an 95.07% stake of Mersen Boostec since July 2015, and Mersen Boostec's main partner, Airbus Defence and Space, holds 4.93%.

Mersen Boostec's unique know-how in the design and manufacture of silicon carbide parts extends the Mersen group's range of equipment and solutions for extreme environments.
