Industrial Silicon Nitride: What is it?
WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT?
Industrial Silicon Nitride is manufactured under highly controlled conditions and exhibits quality and performance that exceeds other materials.
Aerospace Materials
Industrial Silicon Nitride can effectively replace legacy materials used in ball bearings, radomes, and RF windows for extreme applications. The ability to customize silicon nitride to a specific application is crucial to the overall optimization of these ceramics in the aerospace industry.
Automotive
Owing to its excellent thermal shock resistance compared to other industrial ceramics in the automotive industry, Industrial Silicon Nitride can be used for the fabrication of high-performance all-ceramic or hybrid steel-ceramic rolling contact bearings.
Energy
Because Industrial Silicon Nitride has superior strength, wear, temperature, and corrosion resistance, and insulating, conducting, or superconducting characteristics, it is extremely suitable for energy applications
