| Ceramic materials have proven to be effective in raising engine output and reducing emissions by allowing higher combustion temperatures. Kyocera`s Silicon Nitride swirl chambers use the thermal-insulating characteristics of ceramic to facilitate easier starting in compact diesel engines. They also offer improved corrosion resistance through the high-temperature strength properties of Silicon Nitride. |
