Silicon Nitride

Silicon nitride (Si3N4) is a promising material for high-temperature and high mechanical stress applications because of its good thermal shock resistance, high strength retention at elevated temperatures, and excellent erosion and corrosion resistance.

Key silicon nitride properties:

low density (3.1-3.3 g/cm3)
high temperature strength
superior thermal shock resistance (800-900 ΔT°C)
excellent wear resistance
good fracture toughness
mechanical fatigue and creep resistance
good oxidation resistance
