Silicon nitride is a man-made substance created by a variety of chemical reactions. Parts are crushed and sintered using advanced techniques to create a ceramic with a distinct combination of excellent qualities. The material has a dark gray to black color and can be polished to an extremely smooth reflecting surface, giving items a distinctive appearance. High performance silicon nitride materials have been developed and proven useful for automotive engine wear parts such as valves and cam followers. The cost of ceramic parts was never low enough to make them viable in engines and turbochargers. The extremely high quality bodies designed for these demanding high reliability applications are now available and can be used in a wide range of severe mechanical, thermal, and wear applications.
Typical Features
High strength over a wide temperature range
High fracture toughness
