SIC products are used as linings and bricks in aluminum electrolytic cells and furnaces due to their high hardness, strength at high temperatures, and corrosion resistance to alkalis and acids. SiC composite products combined with carbon blocks can form the side walls of electrolytic cells, allowing continuous construction and good felting hardness up to 1200°C while providing wear and oxidation resistance. Si3N4 bonded SiC is specifically used as outlet bricks and lining for aluminum cells, reaction pots, and melting chambers due to its low thermal expansion, high thermal conductivity, and long lifetime.
