Silicon nitride ceramic Si3N4 - production and processing according to drawings

Like other technical ceramics, silicon nitride Si3N4 ceramics are manufactured using the sintering process.

For this purpose, a steel mold is usually produced by milling or die-sinking in order to press the green compact. Depending on the component geometry and requirement profile, the green compact is further processed. Sintering takes place at high temperatures and high gas pressure, which means that the silicon nitride particles are compressed.

Finally, the sintered blank can be milled, turned or ground with diamond tools. This processing step enables high surface quality and dimensional accuracy to be achieved.

Talk to us and let us advise you on the possibilities of manufacturing silicon nitride ceramic Si3N4.

Silicon nitride is the right material to make bushings, sleeves or tubes for bearings or guides. Silicon nitride Si3N4 ceramic is also preferred for use as guide pins and positioning pins to keep nuts or sheet metal in the correct position during welding, since this high-tech ceramic has excellent thermal conductivity, which means that the heat influences during welding can be quickly dissipated.

Another advantage of Si3N4 ceramics is the good machinability. Silicon nitride ceramics can be manufactured with a very high level of dimensional accuracy.

We produce sleeves, bushings, tubes, guide pins and dowel pins according to customer drawings for numerous applications, also for prototype construction, small series and large series.

Buy silicon nitride ceramic components according to drawings from experts and benefit from our many years of experience in the field of technical ceramics.

Silicon nitride clamping jaws and plates are often used as heating plates due to their excellent thermal conductivity, but also to dissipate heat from a component as quickly as possible.

Anyone who uses silicon nitride plates as a heating element benefits from fast heating rates, homogeneous temperature distribution and high control accuracy. However, silicon nitride Si3N4 plates can also be used as bases for various applications for electrical insulation or heat transfer. We manufacture the ceramic blanks according to customer requirements and process them according to drawings.

Silicon nitride Si3N4 ceramic clamping jaws can be used both for heating components and for cooling, eg when welding.
