Product Name Notes
"PAD" Silicon Nitride-SC is a zero porosity, specially formulated silicon nitride material for use in the semiconductor industry. The mater­ial is 98% Si N with 2% densification addi­tives. The additives...
Aluminum Nitride - AlN, is most often the material of choice due to its relatively excellent thermal conductivity and non-toxic nature. Because San Jose Delta has a segregated beryllium oxide...
Boron nitride is offered in several grades each with unique materal properties. All however, are readily machinable; much like green (not sintered), alumina BN allows drilling, tapping, treads etc. without...
Macor is a relatively easy material to machine using ordinary carbide drills, end mills, taps, etc. and doesn’t require post machining firing. Macor-Machinable Glass Ceramic is also unique in that...
PSG Silicon Nitride is a fully dense, pressureless sintered ceramic specifically compounded to yield an amorphous intergranular phase. Pressureless sintering allows for net shape forming of complex components in a...
PSX is a fully dense, isotropic grade of Silicon Nitride offering excellent wear resistance and improved elevated temperature properties. Pressureless sintering allows for net shape forming of complex components for...
San Jose Delta maintains an extensive in-house inventory of certified Materion beryllia ceramic machining stock, including BW-1000, a higher strength and finer grain berylia,. While the grinding of beryllium oxide...
The SC (semiconductor) grade is a fully dense, highly pure form of silicon nitride. Sinteririg aid content is minimized to main­tain purity and is selected for compatibility with the extreme...
Thermal reaction of silicon metal compacts and nitrogen produces Reaction Bonded Silicon Nitride. Complex components can be readily and economically produced by machining the material in the green state. RBSN...
While the same design features common to alumina ceramics; blind holes, threads etc. are easily produced in Zirconia the grinding time required is about fifty percent more. The post-grinding surface...
