Type of Material:

Silicon Nitride is a chemical compound of silicon and nitrogen. It is a hard ceramic and is mostly used in high-endurance and high-temperature applications.

Manufacturing technique:

• Uni-axial pressing
• Iso-static pressing
• Extrusion
• Slip casting

Application:

• High strength over a broad temperature range
• Moderate thermal conductivity
• Low coefficient of thermal expansion
• Moderately high elastic modulus
• Excellent thermal shock resistance
• Ability to withstand high structural loads to high temperature
• Superior wear resistance
• Unusually high fracture toughness

Industries:

Ideal for the Mineral Sands Processing and Aluminium Processing industries.
