To build a SiC production plant: full process support and strategic cooperation

01. Industry opportunities

a blue ocean market worth hundreds of billions for SiC products

With the global manufacturing industry’s upgrade towards extreme working conditions such as high temperature, wear resistance, and corrosion resistance, silicon carbide (SiC), as the core material of third-generation semiconductors and advanced ceramics, is witnessing an explosive growth in demand.

In fields such as semiconductor wafer manufacturing, photovoltaic equipment, new energy vehicles, chemical engineering, and metallurgy, the market gap for high-performance silicon carbide parts (such as crucible supports, sealing rings, heat exchangers, etc.) continues to expand.
If your region has an industrial foundation or policy dividends, investing in the construction of a SiC production manufacturer will become a strategic choice to seize the market opportunity.

3.1 – Consultation on Establishing a SiC Parts Factory – The Key Link to Decode Technology and the Market

Market Feasibility Assessment

  • Based on the regional industrial chain (such as ceramic production clusters, industrial distribution centers, chemical parks, etc.), analyze the demand of the target market, and provide competitive product research, pricing strategies, and production capacity planning suggestions (typical production capacity: 500-5,000 tons of precision silicon carbide parts per year).
  • Formulate differentiated product positioning for different application fields (such as semiconductor-grade high-purity parts vs. industrial-grade wear-resistant components) to avoid homogeneous competition.

Customization of Technical Routes

  • According to the types of target products (reaction-bonded RB-SiC, pressureless-sintered SSiC, recrystallized R-SiC, etc.), recommend matching production processes (for example, the reaction-bonding method is suitable for complex shapes, and the pressureless-sintering method is suitable for high-purity requirements, etc.).
  • Analyze the selection of core equipment (such as high-temperature sintering furnaces at 1,600℃-2,200℃, precision CNC machining centers, X-ray detectors, etc.), and provide a whitelist of equipment suppliers and cost optimization solutions.

Compliance and Sustainability Planning

  • Assist in providing environmental protection and safety advice, such as waste gas treatment: purification solutions for dust/silicides in the waste gas generated during SiC production; safety production standards (such as ISO 9001, IATF 16949), etc.
  • Incorporate the concept of green manufacturing, provide energy-saving solutions such as the recycling of industrial wastewater and waste heat recovery, and reduce the energy consumption per unit of product (typical energy consumption index: ≤800 kWh/ton of finished products).

3.2 – Comprehensive Factory Planning and Design – Creating an Intelligent and Flexible Production Base

Factory Area Planning and Process Layout

  • Combined with the silicon carbide production process (raw material mixing → shaping → sintering → machining → inspection), design functional zones (raw material storage area, shaping workshop, high-temperature sintering area, finishing area, quality inspection center) to minimize the material flow line (typical workshop area: 5,000-20,000 square meters, adjusted according to production capacity).
  • For different processes such as the reaction-bonding method (which requires a silicon infiltration process) and the pressureless-sintering method (which requires a high-purity protective atmosphere), optimize the design of the workshop ventilation, temperature control, and dust removal systems.

Construction of an Intelligent Production Line

  • Introduce the MES system to achieve real-time monitoring of production data (such as the temperature curve of the sintering furnace and the OEE index of equipment), and cooperate with AGV logistics robots to improve the material turnover efficiency (inventory cycle ≤ 15 days).
  • Provide automation solutions: apply robots throughout the entire process from powder mixing to finished product inspection (such as using six-axis robotic arms for loading and unloading, and visual inspection systems for defect screening, etc.).

Establishment of a Quality Control System

  • Design the layout of the laboratory (equipped with SEM scanning electron microscopes, XRD diffractometers, thermal conductivity testers, etc.), and formulate full-process inspection standards from raw materials to finished products (for example, the frequency of microstructure analysis and compressive strength testing: ≥ 5 pieces are sampled and inspected for each batch).
  • Establish a traceability system to make the data of the entire product life cycle retrievable (two-way traceability from the raw material batch to the customer order, with a response time ≤ 1 hour).

04. Why choose to collaborate with us?

Profound Technical Accumulation

The core team consists of members from the Chinese Academy of Sciences and local personnel with more than 20 years of experience in silicon carbide production. We have successfully established over 10 silicon carbide parts factories, and on average, we have shortened the factory establishment cycle for users by 30%.

Precise Cost Control

Through large-scale procurement of equipment and optimization of process parameters (for example, reducing the sintering cycle from 72 hours to 48 hours), we help users reduce production costs by 20%-30%.

Long-term Empowerment and Support

We provide technical training during on-site installation as well as long-term technical training and support. We also offer technical upgrading services after production starts (such as the transformation plan from the RB-SiC production line to the SSiC production line).
