SILICON NITRIDE PARTS
Silicon Nitride rods, plates, bearing, pump sleeve, abrasion wheels are produced in high heat vacuum compression sintering.
SILICON NITRIDE is a formulation of finer particle sizes of silicon powder with carbon into a homogeneous mixture. 
 
Fired at high temperature in the presence of silicon, the vapour silicon penetrated the compound reacting with the carbonaceous contents, thereby achieving thorough filing of all porosity in the molecular structure.
 
The characteristics of fine molecular grain structure is smooth and uniform as a result. 
 
Properties 
Maximum Bulk Density : 3.0 gm/cc 
Apparent Porosity : 0 (Zero) gm/cc 
Average Modulus of Rupture : 50,000 psi +/- (10%) 
Average Crushing Strength : approx. 320,000 psi 
 
With zero apparent porosity at molecular lever, the bulk density (gm/cc) and the crushing strength (psi) is many times higher.
Silicon Nitride Plates can be produced in high purity.
Its qualities of high Thermal Shock and Mechanical Fracture Toughness makes it an idea Non-Oxide ceramic for semiconductor Integrated Circuits (IC) Substrates or Base Plates.
 
Hardness is second to diamond.
