Extract

The pump-producing industry uses solid SiC combinations for tribological components. Thanks to their outstanding corrosion resistance, hardness, thermal stability and other qualities, such pairings have gained widespread acceptance, particularly for mating and sliding surfaces. For structural reasons, the brittleness and low tenacity of solid SiC limit its range of applications. The ideal solution, of course, would be to find a coating with identical desirable properties.
