Silicon nitride (Si3N4) is a compound of silicon and nitrogen. Silicon nitride has superior mechanical properties and forms a protective SiO2 skin at high temperatures. Silicon nitride is difficult to sinter by conventional means because the material dissociates above 1800oC. Products & Services
Ceramic manufacturing services for parts and assemblies made of ceramic or refractory materials.
Specialty ceramics include nitrides, borides, carbon or graphite and silicides as well as other specialized non-metallic compounds.
Ceramic balls are rolling, spherical elements that are used in check and ball valves, bearings, and other mechanical devices that provide rotary or linear motion. They can provide higher stiffness, lower thermal expansion, lighter weight, increased corrosion resistance, and higher electrical resistance than comparable steel products.
Ceramic powders and precursors contain oxides, carbides, nitrides, carbon, and other non-metals. They are usually micron or mesh-size in distribution. Ceramic powders, sol-gel solutions and precursors are fabricated through atomization, crushing, milling, precipitation, and other chemical processes.
Balls and sphere shapes are used for check or ball valves, bearings, or other applications requiring a spherical product. They are fabricated from materials such as carbides, ceramics, sapphire, metals, plastics, rubber and elastomers.
