Si₃N₄ - Silicon Nitride

Silicon nitride (Si₃N₄) ceramics feature high fracture toughness and strong resistance to mechanical impact, along with excellent thermal shock resistance. They maintain high mechanical strength at elevated temperatures and offer low density, high hardness, excellent wear and corrosion resistance, and self-lubricating properties. In addition, they exhibit strong chemical inertness, excellent electrical insulation, and a low coefficient of thermal expansion, and can be precision-machined into customized components.
