The ceramic material silicon nitride is a non-organic ceramic that doesn’t shrink during the sintering process. Silicon nitride has a high strength, particularly hot-pressed silica nitride which is considered one of the strongest materials in the universe. It has low density, high temperature resistance, high strength and other properties.
A Si3N4 is a covalent bonding compound. The basic structural element is the [SiN4] Tetrahedron. The silicon is in the middle of the tetrahedron. Four nitrogen atoms surround it. The four vertices form a tetrahedron. The tetrahedrons have the same form as an atom. They are connected in a three-dimensional network.

Si3N4 ceramics used as structural materials: examples

It can be used for ball bearings because of its high rigidity, lightweight and low weight. It generates less energy, is more precision than metal, and can be used in high temperatures and with corrosive media. It has heat resistance and wear resistance. The ceramic Si3N4 steam nozzle showed no damage even after a few month’s use in a 650-degree boiler. Si3N4 can be used for ball bearings because of its high rigidity and lightweight. It generates less energy, is more precision than metal, and can be used in high temperatures and with corrosive media. The ceramic steam nozzle has heat resistance and wear resistance. It shows no damage even after a few month’s use in a boiler with 650 degrees.

Si3N4 ceramics are widely used in a wide range of applications

Si3N4 ceramics’ performance and reliability are set to continue improving with the advancement of molding, sintering technology and processing. The ceramics of Si3N4 have excellent properties, abundant resources, and are unmatched by metal materials in terms of wear resistance. It is resistant to harsh working environments, where metals and polymer materials would be hard to work with.
Si3N4 ceramics are classified as high-temperature structure ceramics due to their superior mechanical properties, thermal characteristics, and chemical stability compared to other high-temperature structures ceramics. The material that has the greatest potential for application.
