Silicon Nitride Si3N4 Powder Applications
Ceramic material made of silicon nitride has many advantages, including high thermal stability, high resistance to oxidation, and high accuracy. Chemical stability is achieved by the fact that silicon nitride has a strong covalent bond and will form an oxygen film in the atmosphere. Silicon nitride will not oxidize under 1200. A protective film is formed between 12001600, which prevents it from further oxidation. Silicon nitride will not be infiltrated, or corroded, by aluminum, lead tin silver brass nickel and many other metals and alloys. But it can be corroded, by magnesium, nickel chrome alloy, stainless, steel, or other liquids.
Silicon nitride ceramics can be used as high-temperature components, advanced refractory for the metallurgical and chemical industries, sealing components and corrosion-resistant parts in the chemical industry. They can also be used to make cutting and machining tools.
Due to its ability to form a strong bind with silicon carbide and other materials such as alumina, silicon dioxide, thorium nitride etc. it can be used in different proportions.
Silicon nitride is also used in solar cell technology. In the PECVD process, the silicon-nitride layer can be used not only as an antireflection coating to reduce the reflection, but it also acts as a defect in passivation. The ratio between silicon nitride and silicon nitrogen atoms fluctuates according to the different technological conditions. Different atomic proportions are correlated with different film properties.
Also, it is used in aircraft engines, ultra-high temperatures gas turbines and electric furnaces.
