Beams are available in at least three different materials, namely Silit^® SKD - siliconized silicon carbide; N-Durance^® nitride bonded silicon carbide, and Hexoloy^® SE sintered silicon carbide. Beams can be made in large selections of cross-sections, wall thickness and lengths (up to 4 m) using slip-casting or extrusion process. As-fired beams can be used "as-is" or finished to customer’s tolerances. Applications include structural support in high temperature processes, and metrology equipment.
