Silicon Nitride Ceramic: Wear-Resistant Silicon Nitride Ceramic
Silicon nitride (Si3N4) ceramics, due to their high specific strength, high specific modulus, high-temperature resistance, oxidation resistance, wear resistance, and thermal shock resistance, have particular application value in high-temperature, high-speed, and highly corrosive working environments. In recent years, research and development efforts in this field have been continuously strengthened both domestically and internationally, and their application scope has continued to expand.
Because silicon nitride ceramics possess such excellent properties, they are commonly used in the manufacture of mechanical parts such as bearings, turbine blades, mechanical seal rings, and permanent molds. Using silicon nitride ceramics in engine parts not only improves the quality of internal combustion engines but also saves fuel. Furthermore, countries such as China, the United States, and Japan have developed highly refractory ma…
