- Various dies for extrusion
- Various guide rollers & cutters
- Various valves for air pressure
& fluid pressure
- Various bearing materials
- Plugs for pipe extension
- Valves seats
- Ornament |
Si3N4
(Silicon Nitride) |
Silicon nitride is the fine-grain ceramics sintered at high temperatures in the non-oxidation ambience. It has the strongest covalent-bond property next to silicon carbide and can be polished to a very smooth reflective surface.
It has the properties of excellent heat resistance, high temperature strength and high temperature hardness. The material is dark gray to black in color and it is a high-temperature structural material. |
- Heat exchanges & burner nozzles
- Reaction tubes
- Cutting tools
- Bearings & guide rollers
- Engine wear parts
- Pin chuck, location pins &
welding jigs
- Sliding shoes |
SiC
(Silicon Carbide) |
Silicon carbide is an artificial mineral and it is the only chemical compound of carbon and silicon with a strong covalent-bond property.
It has a hardness exceeding alumina and silicon nitride. It has the properties of strong heat resistance and excellent corrosion resistance. It is especially strong in sliding abrasion.
