AUTOMOTIVE

With unparalleled strength and resistance to chemical and thermal stresses, STX-100 significantly enhances contact fatigue life when used to fabricate automotive components such as rolling contact bearings. Silicon nitride is used throughout the automotive industry in the manufacture of engine parts and accessory units.

Engine Components
Rolling Contact Bearings
Automotive Brakes

RF COMPONENTS

Due to its ability to minimize signal loss at high-temperatures and speeds, STX-100 is an excellent choice for high-end industrial components that require an RF transparent material that can withstand extreme conditions. Ideal applications include rocket components, RF antenna windows, and missile radomes.

RF Antenna Windows
High-Speed Missile Radomes
Electrical Insulators for Fusion Reactors

AEROSPACE

STX-100 is incredibly light for the strength it provides, making it an ideal material in aerospace and other applications where both weight and strength are critically important. It is also creep-resistant (as compared to metals), which improves the stability of structures at high temperatures.

Aerospace Brakes
Igniters for Turbine Engines
Rocket Nozzles

WELDING

STX-100’s fracture toughness, high abrasion wear, and low thermal conductivity make it an excellent choice for use in seam welding equipment. Silicon nitride, when used to manufacture welding rollers, has demonstrated a lifespan of 20-30x longer than that of steel for similar applications.

EXPERIENCE UNRIVALED DESIGN FLEXIBILITY

SINTX’s state-of-the-art manufacturing facility is fully equipped to fabricate industrial ceramic components that require complex shapes with special features and surface textures. We excel at green machining ceramic, which reduces (or eliminates) the need for hard grinding, resulting in a more efficient manufacturing process. Our peck drilling technique enables us to achieve exceptional precision, allowing for the creation of apertures as small as 0.40 mm. Through laser texturing, we can fabricate intricate surface textures on complex geometries, creating endless possibilities for customization and design.

STX-100 is specifically formulated for use in industrial applications where performance is a top consideration and design flexibility is essential. Contact SINTX to start the design-to-build process on an OEM industrial ceramic solution for your project.
