Corrosion Resistance

Corrosion Resistance and non-infiltration of molten metals such as aluminium,copper,magnesium,zinc,lead,gallium,germanium,indium, gold, silver, cadmium,tin,bismuth,etc.


Features:

-It is corrosion resistant, can be used in strong acids and alkalis, and is soluble in hydrofluoric acid. It does not react with other inorganic acids except hydrofluoric acid.

-High temperature resistant: at 1200℃, the strength and hardness of silicon nitride ceramics remain almost unchanged. It will not melt into a melt when heated and will not decompose until 1900℃.

-It is non-magnetic, electrically insulating, and has low thermal conductivity, and can be used as insulating and heat-insulating materials.

-The thermal expansion coefficient is low and it can withstand rapid temperature changes. It will not break even if it is heated to over 1 000 ℃ in the air, cooled rapidly and then heated rapidly.

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.
