High-Performance Silicon Nitride Ceramic Components: Designed For Extreme Environments And Precision Measurement
Product Introduction
This product utilizes high-performance silicon nitride (Si₃N₄) ceramic material, manufactured through advanced reaction bonding or hot isostatic pressing processes. It is specifically developed for precision instruments, sensors, and high-temperature insulation applications. With excellent mechanical strength, thermal shock resistance, and chemical stability, it is an ideal material for manufacturing precision probes, core sensor components, and high-temperature insulating connecting rods. Its unique combination of properties addresses the performance limitations of metals and ordinary ceramics in high-temperature, corrosive, and precision measurement environments.
Core Advantages
Exceptional Thermal Shock Resistance: Low thermal expansion coefficient, withstands rapid temperature changes (ΔT > 800°C) without cracking or deformation.
Ultra-High Mechanical Strength and Hardness: Flexural strength up to 800 MPa, Vickers hardness ≥1500, excellent wear resistance.
Outstanding Chemical Stability: Resists most acids and alkalis, suitable for harsh chemical environments.
Excellent Insulation Properties: High resistivity (>10¹⁴ Ω·cm), maintains good insulation characteristics even at high temperatures.
Lightweight and Biocompatible: Density only 3.2-3.3 g/cm³, with good biocompatibility.
