Silicon nitride
A ceramic ceramic is an organic ceramic material which does not shrink in sintering. Silicon nitride has a strong structure, particularly hot-pressed silicon, and is among the most hard materials on the planet. This material has high strength, low densities, and high resistance to high temperatures, among other characteristics.
Reaction sintering method (RS)
This is the standard forming process. It begins by pressing the silicon powder into a desired form. Then, it goes into a furnace to undergo pre-nitriding, or partial nitriding, before being sintered. Already pre-nitrided, the green body has some strength. There are many mechanical operations that can be done to the green body, including turning, planning, milling and drilling. Finaly, the silicon melting point is reached. The green body is then fully nitrided to create a product that has little dimension change.
Hot Press Sintering
This uses Si3N4 Powder and small amounts of other additives, such as MgO or Al2O3, Fe2O3, MgF2, MgF2, etc. It is pressed at above 16000 °C and heated to 1600 °F for hot pressing molding and sintering. Si3N4 ceramics made using hot pressing sintering are superior to those produced from reaction sintered Si3N4. They have high strength, density and mechanical properties.
The atmospheric pressure sintering technique (PLS).
To increase the atmospheric pressure, the system uses Si3N4’s properties to boost the temperature of decomposition (typically at 1atm N2 starting at 1800degC). The temperature range for air pressure sintering starts at 1800 to 2000 degC after atmospheric sintering.
The air pressure sintering technique (GPS)
At a pressure range of 1-10 MPa, and at temperatures of approximately 2000C, silicon nitride can be air-pressure sintering. This high nitrogen pressure prevents silicon nitride from being decomposed at high temperatures. It is possible to produce a high-toughness ceramic by using high temperatures sintering with less sintering tools. The result is a long columnar grain with an increased density of> 99.
Silicium nitride ceramics in mechanical engineering can be used for making bearings. Cutting tools. High-temperature bolts. Drawing Dies.
Hot-pressed sintered silica nitride ceramic tool have a 5-150% higher cut speed and durability than the cemented carbide ones. Dispersion strengthening is possible by compounding TiC or ZrC. This can improve performance and longevity of silicon-nitride tools.
It has both wear resistance as well as self-lubricating properties. It’s a good bearing material, and lasts longer than ceramic bearings. It’s resistant to corrosion and high temperatures, so it can be used in extreme environments.
