Suoyi Silicon Nitride Powder Si3N4

Suoyi Silicon Nitride Powder Si3N4  

 Suoyi Silicon Nitride (Si3N4): Characteristics
1. Exceptional Hardness&Wear Resistance 
   - One of the hardest ceramic materials (Vickers hardness ~15–20 GPa), rivaling alumina and carbide ceramics.  
   - Superior resistance to abrasion and mechanical wear, ideal for high-stress environments.  
2. High-Temperature Stability
   - Retains strength and thermal shock resistance up to 1,400°C (2,552°F) in inert atmospheres.  
   - Low thermal expansion coefficient (~3.2 × 10⁻⁶/K) reduces cracking under rapid temperature changes.  
3. Chemical Inertness
   - Resists corrosion by acids, alkalis, and molten metals (e.g., aluminum, copper).  
   - Oxidation-resistant in air up to ~1,200°C (2,192°F).  
4. Electrical Insulation & Dielectric Properties 
   - High electrical resistivity (~10¹⁴–10¹⁵ Ω·cm) and low dielectric loss, suitable for electronics.  
5. Lightweight & High Strength-to-Weight Ratio  
   - Density (~3.2 g/cm³) is lower than steel, making it valuable for weight-sensitive applications.
