Silicon nitride
ceramics is superior to other materials due to its thermal shock resistance. It does not deteriorate at high temperatures, so it's used for automotive engines and parts for gas turbines, including the turbocharger rotor.
Ortech offers a complete family of Silicon Nitride materials. These materials have the following key characteristics:
• Good thermal shock resistance
• Creep resistance
• Low density
• High fracture toughness
• High hardness and wear resistance
• Electrical resistivity
Sintered Silicon Nitride
Ceramics
SSN is a high purity grade of silicon nitride having a density of approximately 70-80% of theoretical that can be produced in a cost effective manner such as dry pressing, and isostatic pressing, to complex net shapes. SSN has excellent thermal shock resistance and outstanding compatibility with non-ferrous molten metals. This lower cost alternative to the fully dense silicon nitride grades can be manufactured to close tolerance without the need for expensive diamond grinding.
Hot Pressed Silicon Nitride
Ceramics
HPSN can be formulated into a variety of compositions having minimal densification aids. HPSN compositions offer the highest strength of silicon nitrides
Typical applications:
• Semiconductor handling parts
• Wafer processing components
• Bearing balls and rollers
• Nozzles
