Thermal Spraying techniques are coating processes in which melted materials are sprayed onto a surface
Silicon Carbide (SiC) is a synthetic mineral containing silicon and carbon.
It is one of the hardest materials in the world, and also lightweight
ThermaSiC is Seram’s disruptive product that enables SiC to be applied as a coating by atmospheric thermal spraying for the first time

The thermal spraying of silicon carbide is made possible by chemically depositing a protective layer on each silicon carbide particle. The protective layer acts as an oxidation protector, and melts during thermal spraying to allow some plastic deformation and building a coating layer.
The coated particles are then agglomerated to free-flowing granules for easy handling, and can be classified to different size fractions. 15 to 45 micron size is our most-sold size range, with other ranges available upon request. ThermaSiC 15-45 can be sprayed by HVOF and APS processes.
