Silicon infiltrated Silicon carbide ceramics are commonly employed because of their excellent chemical, oxidation, and thermal shock resistance. SiÀSiC cellular ceramics with porosity >80% and pore size from 40 to 10 PPI are exploited industrially in applications with high thermal loads, high temperatures, and harsh environments, including porous burners, catalyst supports, heat exchangers, structural ceramic sandwiches, concentrated solar radiation absorbers, and electric heaters. This work attempts to present the components in which SiÀSiC foams are currently applied because of their superior thermo-mechanical properties. 1074 wileyonlinelibrary.com ß
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
