Silicon nitride ceramic positioning block

Introduction to silicon nitride ceramic positioning blocks

Silicon nitride ceramic positioning blocks have low thermal expansion coefficient and high thermal conductivity, so they have excellent thermal shock resistance. Within a temperature of 1200°C, silicon nitride positioning blocks have high strength and impact resistance. The hot-pressed sintered silicon nitride will not break even if it is put into cold water after being heated to 1000°C. At temperatures that are not too high, silicon nitride has high strength and impact resistance, but it will be damaged as the use time increases above 1200°C, reducing its strength. It is more prone to fatigue damage above 1450°C. Therefore, the operating temperature of Si3N4 generally does not exceed 1300°C.
