What is Silicon Nitride (HTML0)?
Inorganic silicon nitride has the chemical formula Si3N4. It is a ceramic structural material with a high degree of hardness and wear resistance. It has atomic crystals, is naturally lubricious, is resistant to oxidation, and is resistant to high temperatures. Moreover, the material can withstand both cold and heat. It will not break if you heat it to over 1000 in the atmosphere, cool it quickly and then heat it rapidly. Because of its excellent characteristics, silicon nitride is often used in the manufacture of bearings. Silicon nitride is a ceramic that resists high temperatures, but also transfers heat poorly. It can therefore be used as the heating surface of engine components to improve quality, reduce fuel consumption, and increase thermal efficiency.
Silicon Nitride Application:

Silicon nitride ceramics have many outstanding properties including high thermal resistance, high oxidation resistant and high accuracy of product size. Silicon nitride has excellent chemical stability because it is a covalent, high-bonding compound that can form a protective oxide film in the atmosphere. It cannot be oxidized under 1200degC. The formation of a film between 12001600degC will prevent further corrosion.

Silicon nitride is a ceramic material that can be used to make high-temperature components for engineering, advanced refractories for the metallurgical sector, sealing components and corrosion-resistant components in chemical industry and tools and cutting tool in machining.

It can be used to bond materials in different proportions.

Silicon nitride is also used in solar cells. It is possible to use the silicon-nitride coating after the PECVD process. This film can reduce the reflection of light and also act as an antireflection layer. The ratio between silicon nitride and silicon atoms does not always follow a 4:3 ratio, but can vary within a specific range. The film’s physical properties are different for different atomic proportions.

Silicon nitride is widely used for its excellent electrical, thermal, and mechanical properties.
