Si₃N₄ is Silicon Nitride, a high-performance structural ceramic with exceptional toughness, thermal shock resistance and impact resistance. It has excellent wear resistance and good corrosion resistance, while being less brittle than other ceramics. It is especially suitable for severe conditions such as dry running, vibration and heavy impact, commonly used in demanding pumps, mixers and special industrial equipment.
Application Conditions
- Excellent thermal shock resistance needed
- Heavy vibration, impact, and easy-to-crack conditions
- Dry running or intermittent running situations
- High toughness and low brittleness required
- Media with slight abrasion and moderate corrosion
Best for: tough working conditions where ceramics often break.
