Thermal Shock-Resistant Solution Silicon Nitride Ceramics For Temperature Applications

Product Description
This product is a structural component precision-machined from high-performance silicon nitride (Si₃N₄) ceramic material. It features an integrated design consisting of a rectangular base with a cylindrical boss vertically connected at the center of the top surface. The component exhibits the characteristic dark gray-black color of silicon nitride ceramic. Precision circular through-holes are located on the boss and at the four corners of the base. The overall design is simple yet robust, reflecting an optimal balance of functionality and reliability. This part fully utilizes the exceptional properties of silicon nitride ceramic, including high strength, high hardness, wear resistance, high-temperature tolerance, and excellent electrical insulation, making it an essential basic functional component designed for precision industrial equipment.

Primary Applications
Thanks to its excellent comprehensive properties, this component is widely used in:

• Fixed Mounts for Precision Equipment: Serving as installation bases for high-precision devices like measuring instruments and optical platforms, ensuring structural stability and dimensional permanence.

• High-Temperature Insulating Connectors: Acting as electrical insulating supports in high-temperature environments such as semiconductor equipment and vacuum furnaces, while bearing mechanical loads.

• Guiding and Positioning Components in Automation: Used as precise positioning modules in automated equipment like robotic arms and conveyor lines, leveraging its wear resistance and low friction coefficient.

• Structural Parts for Special Environments: Suitable for equipment frames and connection structures in harsh conditions like strong magnetic fields or highly corrosive atmospheres.

Key Advantages

• Exceptional Mechanical Properties: Flexural strength ≥600 MPa, hardness HRA ≥92, combined with good fracture toughness.

• Outstanding Heat Resistance: Can operate continuously in environments up to 1200°C, with a low coefficient of thermal expansion (3.2 × 10⁻⁶/K).

• Excellent Wear Resistance: Wear rate is orders of magnitude lower than metallic materials, resulting in an extremely long service life.

• Superior Electrical Insulation: Volume resistivity >10¹⁴ Ω·cm, dielectric strength >15 kV/mm.

• Stable Chemical Performance: Resistant to acid and alkali corrosion, and does not react with most molten metals.

• Self-Lubricating Properties: Low friction coefficient (0.1-0.3), capable of operating without lubrication.
