Features:

The silicon nitride ceramic dowel pins are sintered at 100 bar atmospheric pressure and are a material of high strength and excellent properties.

First choice for welding:

-Ultra-high hardness and bending strength

-High thermal shock resistance

-Electrical insulation

-High temperature resistance

-High tensile and compressive strength

-Less cold welding

-No welding spatter adhesion


Application:

In the automobile manufacturing industry, the positioning accuracy of the locating pins of the welding fixture plays a vital role in the welding dimensions of the car body.

What are the advantages of Silicon Nitride?

Compared with other technical ceramics, the low thermal expansion coefficient of Silicon Nitride provides good thermal shock resistance. It is extremely hard, fracture-tough, surpasses the high temperature capabilities of most metals, and also has a superior oxidation resistance. As a consequence, silicon nitride can withstand the toughest conditions in the most demanding high-temperature and high-load applications.

What is the formula for Silicon Nitride?

The formula for silicon nitride is Si3N4.
