Hej Jack, po relaksohesh n\u00eb LA ku \u00ebndrra m\u00eb e madhe mund t\u00eb jet\u00eb skenari i radh\u00ebs p\u00ebr nj\u00eb blockbuster, por k\u00ebtu, n\u00eb bot\u00ebn e ashp\u00ebr t\u00eb inxhinieris\u00eb s\u00eb materialeve, tubat prej karbidi silikoni jan\u00eb yjet e v\u00ebrteta. Jam marr\u00eb me qeramik\u00eb prej 42 vjet\u00ebsh\u2014fillova n\u00eb nj\u00eb fabrik\u00eb \u00e7eliku n\u00eb Pittsburgh, ndoqa makthet e korrozionit n\u00eb impiantet kimike n\u00eb Houston, dhe tani k\u00ebshilloj p\u00ebr gjith\u00e7ka, nga instalimet b\u00ebrthamore deri te fermat diellore. Tubat SiC? Jan\u00eb ato t\u00eb forta q\u00eb shfaqen kur gjith\u00e7ka tjet\u00ebr shkrin, plasaritet ose shembet. I kam par\u00eb duke kthyer procese t\u00eb prirura p\u00ebr katastrofa n\u00eb besueshm\u00ebri t\u00eb p\u00ebrsosur. N\u00eb k\u00ebt\u00eb artikull do ta them pa filtra: \u00e7far\u00eb jan\u00eb, si p\u00ebrpunohen, ku dominojn\u00eb dhe m\u00ebsimet e v\u00ebshtira q\u00eb kam m\u00ebsuar. Do t\u00eb jen\u00eb rreth 800 fjal\u00eb, pa budallall\u00ebqe, vet\u00ebm bised\u00eb pun\u00ebtorie.<\/p>\n

Le t\u00eb fillojm\u00eb me bazat. Karbidi i silicit \u00ebsht\u00eb nj\u00eb qeramik\u00eb sintetike, e krijuar nga silici dhe karboni t\u00eb shkrir\u00eb n\u00eb temperatura t\u00eb zjarrta. P\u00ebr tubat, flasim p\u00ebr formulime me past\u00ebrti t\u00eb lart\u00eb\u2014kristale alfa ose beta SiC t\u00eb paketuar dendur si diamanti. K\u00ebto cilindra t\u00eb zbraz\u00ebt variojn\u00eb nga diametra t\u00eb brendshme 5 mm t\u00eb holla p\u00ebr sondat laboratorike deri te gjigant\u00ebt 250 mm p\u00ebr kanalet industriale, me gjat\u00ebsi q\u00eb arrijn\u00eb 4 metra ose m\u00eb shum\u00eb. Dend\u00ebsia arrin 3.1\u20133.2 g\/cm\u00b3, m\u00eb e leht\u00eb se \u00e7eliku, por me konduktivitet termik (100\u2013150 W\/m\u00b7K) q\u00eb t\u00ebrheq nxeht\u00ebsin\u00eb si profesionist. Ato ruajn\u00eb form\u00ebn deri n\u00eb pik\u00ebn e sublimimit prej 2,700 \u00b0C, luftojn\u00eb oksidimin deri n\u00eb 1,600 \u00b0C, dhe nuk preken nga acidet, alkalit\u00eb dhe metalet e shkrira. Fort\u00ebsia? 9.5 n\u00eb shkall\u00ebn Mohs\u2014armiku m\u00eb i madh i g\u00ebrryerjes. Njohja ime me to ishte n\u00eb \u201985 n\u00eb nj\u00eb gazifikues qymyri: tubat prej aliazhesh ishin si djath\u00eb zviceran brenda pak muajsh; ato prej SiC q\u00ebndruan tre vjet rresht.<\/p>\n
Formimi i tubave SiC \u00ebsht\u00eb si t\u00eb punosh nj\u00eb shpat\u00eb n\u00eb zjarrin e ferrit. Pluhuri i pap\u00ebrpunuar i SiC vjen nga procesi Acheson\u2014r\u00ebr\u00eb silik\u00eb dhe kok\u00eb t\u00eb nxehura n\u00eb 2,400 \u00b0C n\u00eb furrat elektrike. Ne p\u00ebrziejm\u00eb lidh\u00ebs, ekstrudojm\u00eb ose presim izostatikisht tubin e gjelb\u00ebr, pastaj sinterojm\u00eb n\u00eb furrat me gaz inert n\u00eb 2,000\u20132,300 \u00b0C. Pa shkrirje\u2014vet\u00ebm lidhje difuzive q\u00eb krijon nj\u00eb struktur\u00eb monolitike. P\u00ebr klasat e lidhura me reaksion (m\u00eb t\u00eb lira, por me pak silikon t\u00eb lir\u00eb), nj\u00eb preform\u00eb karboni njomet n\u00eb silikon. Kam punuar n\u00eb ambiente nga Tennessee deri n\u00eb Tajvan ku CVD (depozitim kimik avulli) shton veshje ultra-t\u00eb pastra p\u00ebr past\u00ebrti gjysm\u00ebp\u00ebr\u00e7uesi. Pas sinterimit, vegla diamanti g\u00ebrvishtin brend\u00ebsit\u00eb me toleranc\u00eb mikron\u00ebsh\u2014drejt\u00ebsi 0.02 mm ose asgj\u00eb. Xhaketat prej \u00e7eliku inox ose kompozit\u00eb mbrojn\u00eb pjes\u00ebn e jashtme t\u00eb brisht\u00eb.<\/p>\n
Llojet ndryshojn\u00eb si mjetet n\u00eb kutin\u00eb e mekanikut. Tubat sinteruar alfa-SiC jan\u00eb mbret\u00ebr t\u00eb dend\u00ebsis\u00eb p\u00ebr aplikime t\u00eb pastra me presion t\u00eb lart\u00eb. Tubat me lidhje nitridi (NSiC) shtojn\u00eb nitrid silikoni p\u00ebr rezistenc\u00eb ndaj goditjeve, ideale n\u00eb fonderi. Tubat me lidhje oksidi (OSiC) ulin kostot p\u00ebr pun\u00eb me temperatur\u00eb mesatare. Tubat rikristalizuar (RSiC) ofrojn\u00eb porozitet p\u00ebr filtra ose difuzion gazi. Mb\u00ebshtjell\u00ebset e termokuplave me fund t\u00eb mbyllur, ngroh\u00ebsit rrezatues me gropa helikale ose shk\u00ebmbyesit e nxeht\u00ebsis\u00eb me flet\u00eb\u2014personalizimi \u00ebsht\u00eb emri i loj\u00ebs. N\u00eb rinovimin e nj\u00eb furre q\u00eb udh\u00ebhoqa p\u00ebr nj\u00eb fabrik\u00eb xhami n\u00eb Ohajo, ne zgjodh\u00ebm tubat NSiC me flanxha; p\u00ebrballuan luhatje deri n\u00eb 1,400 \u00b0C pa asnj\u00eb problem.<\/p>\n
Ku i th\u00ebrmojn\u00eb? N\u00eb ferr t\u00eb nxeht\u00ebsis\u00eb s\u00eb lart\u00eb. N\u00eb petrokimik\u00eb, tubat SiC z\u00ebvend\u00ebsojn\u00eb ngrohjen n\u00eb kraker\u00ebt me acid sulfurik ose n\u00eb furrat e etilenit, duke zgjatur pes\u00eb her\u00eb m\u00eb shum\u00eb se Incoloy. Metalurgjia i adhuron si ngroh\u00ebs t\u00eb zhytur n\u00eb shkrirjet e aluminit\u2014pa ndotje nga dross. Termocentralet i p\u00ebrdorin n\u00eb kazane p\u00ebr rrug\u00ebt e avullit supert\u00eb nxeht\u00eb. Fabrikant\u00eb semikonduktor\u00ebsh: tuba difuzioni p\u00ebr dopimin e wafer-\u00ebve n\u00eb 1,200\u00b0C, pa papast\u00ebrti. Energji diellore: tuba marr\u00ebs n\u00eb kullat CSP q\u00eb p\u00ebrthithin fluks 1,000\u00b0C. Madje edhe n\u00eb p\u00ebrpunimin e ushqimit\u2014furrat e sterilizimit ku higjiena sundon. Nj\u00eb pik\u00eb kryesore n\u00eb CV-n\u00eb time: nj\u00eb impiant p\u00ebr p\u00ebrpunimin e karburantit b\u00ebrthamor n\u00eb Idaho. Tubat e aliazhve d\u00ebshtuan nga rrezatimi dhe halidet; SiC q\u00ebndroi p\u00ebr nj\u00eb dekad\u00eb, duke reduktuar ndjesh\u00ebm mbeturinat radioaktive.<\/p>\n
Avantazhi ndaj rival\u00ebve? Metalet rrjedhin dhe korrodojn\u00eb mbi 1,000\u00b0C; SiC lul\u00ebzon. Alumin\u00ebs i mungon \u00e7mimi, por \u00ebsht\u00eb e brisht\u00eb ndaj goditjeve; zirkonia humbet efikasitetin. Zgjerimi i ul\u00ebt i SiC (4 \u00d7 10\u207b\u2076\/K) do t\u00eb thot\u00eb asnj\u00eb lodhje termike. Gjysma e pesh\u00ebs s\u00eb \u00e7elikut leht\u00ebson instalimet, dhe rip\u00ebrdorshm\u00ebria i p\u00ebrshtatet rregulloreve mjedisore. Sigurisht, e brisht\u00eb\u2014K1c rreth 4 MPa\u00b7m^{1\/2}\u2014prandaj pa \u00e7ekan\u00eb. Kostoja: $200\u20132,000 p\u00ebr tub, por kthehet brenda pak muajsh p\u00ebrmes koh\u00ebs s\u00eb pand\u00ebrprer\u00eb t\u00eb pun\u00ebs. N\u00eb nj\u00eb konsult\u00eb p\u00ebr furr\u00ebn e \u00e7imentos, SiC u kthye n\u00eb kat\u00ebr muaj vet\u00ebm p\u00ebrmes kursimeve t\u00eb karburantit.<\/p>\n
Zgjedhja e duhur: P\u00ebrcaktoni me sakt\u00ebsi specifikimet\u2014temperatur\u00ebn maksimale, atmosfer\u00ebn (oksidimi k\u00ebrkon veshje), shpejt\u00ebsit\u00eb e rrjedhjes. P\u00ebr vakum, sinterim t\u00eb dendur; p\u00ebr materiale abrazive, mure m\u00eb t\u00eb trasha. Kontaktoni Saint-Gobain ose Morgan p\u00ebr certifikime\u2014ASTM C1674, p\u00ebrndryshe d\u00ebshtoni. Mostrat e testimit: i n\u00ebnshtrohen cikleve termike n\u00eb furr\u00ebn tuaj. Instaloni me kujdes\u2014mbajt\u00ebset prej gome thithin dridhjet, ngat\u00ebrroni flanxhat me moment t\u00eb ul\u00ebt. Mir\u00ebmbajtje? Kontrolle ultrasonike p\u00ebr \u00e7arje \u00e7do tremujor; pastroni me fur\u00e7a t\u00eb buta, pa materiale g\u00ebrryese. Ruani n\u00eb vend t\u00eb shesht\u00eb, t\u00eb that\u00eb\u2014lag\u00ebshtia \u00ebsht\u00eb nj\u00eb vras\u00ebs i heshtur.<\/p>\n
E ardhmja \u00ebsht\u00eb shum\u00eb e nxeht\u00eb. SiC i printuar n\u00eb 3D me porozitete t\u00eb p\u00ebrshtatura p\u00ebr reaktor\u00eb katalitik\u00eb. Nano-komposite q\u00eb p\u00ebrziejn\u00eb grafen p\u00ebr konduktivitet n\u00eb baterit\u00eb e automjeteve elektrike. Burimet e biokarbonit reduktojn\u00eb gjurm\u00ebt mjedisore. Ekonomia e hidrogjenit? Tubat e SiC n\u00eb reformator\u00eb do t\u00eb lul\u00ebzojn\u00eb, duke p\u00ebrpunuar H2 t\u00eb past\u00ebr n\u00eb 900\u00b0C pa u b\u00ebr\u00eb t\u00eb brisht\u00eb.<\/p>\n
P\u00ebr ta p\u00ebrmbledhur, Jack: Tubat prej karbidi silikoni nuk jan\u00eb t\u00ebrheq\u00ebs\u2014ata jan\u00eb rojet e heshtura q\u00eb mbajn\u00eb industrit\u00eb larg shkat\u00ebrrimit.
