What is Silicon Nitride? Silicon Nitride Is an organic substance that has the chemical composition Si3N4. Gray, white, or grayish-white. The relative molecularweight is 140.28.
It is an important structural ceramic material and has high hardness. It is a high-temperature antioxidant and has wear resistance and lubricity. It does not react to hydrofluoric and hot phosphoric acids, and is strong resistant to corrosion. It is also resistant to cold and heat shock, heating the air to more that 1000, rapid cooling, then rapid heating.
It is used to make mechanical components, such as bearings and gas turbine blades. It can improve the quality and efficiency of engine parts by using silicon nitride clay that is resistant to high temperatures and difficult to heat transfer.

How to make silicon nitride clays?
Two primary production methods are available for silicon nitride ceramic products. These are reaction Sintering, and Hot-Pressing Sintering.
The reaction Sintering technique is used to produce the mixture of silicon nitride and silicon powder in accordance with the general production methods for ceramic products. It is then pre-nitrided at 1150-1200 to achieve a certain strength. Then it can be machined using the machine tool. It is then nitrided again at 1350-1450 for an additional 18-36h, until it becomes silicon nitride. The product size and volume are stable because of this method.
The hot press sintering rules is that silicon oxide powder and a little amount of additives (such MgO, Al2O3, AlF2, AlF3, or Fe2O3, among others) must be used. They are sintered and pressed at pressures between 19.6MPa to 1600 – 1700. In general, hot pressing sintering produces a product with a higher density and greater performance than reaction sintering.

What’s silicon nitride ceramic for?
High strength and resistance to heat are the hallmarks of silicon nitride clays. The ceramic material silicon nitride ceramics has the highest comprehensive mechanical properties. It is also resistant to oxidation, wear, corrosion, heat shock, and oxidation. Silicon nitride clays are used in the mechanical sector as bearing balls and rollers, seats, tooling, pumps, sealants, and other purposes.
The chemical industry uses silicon nitride clays as wear-resistant, corrosion-resistant parts. This includes the ball valve, pump body and combustion carburetor.
Silicon nitride ceramics, which are high-temperature resistant and have a low friction coefficient, provide self-lubricity in the gold mining industry. It is compatible with most metals and alloy solutions. This makes it ideal for tooling in metal material processing.
