Technical Data
Silicon Nitride
Features
Silicon nitride has high strength and fracture toughness at high temperatures.
It is used as a high-temperature structural component for automotive engines, gas turbines and combustor parts.
Silicon nitride has a low coefficient of thermal expansion and extremely high thermal shock resistance.

PRECISION MACHINED PRODUCTS
Ultra-precision is possible with Kyocera's unique techniques.
Precision machining is affected by shape and material.
Some practical examples are shown in the table below.
* Surface roughness depends on the material. The data shown here indicates where alumina is used.
Property
* The values are typical material properties and may vary according to products configuration and manufacturing process. For more details, Please feel free to contact us.
* 1: All values for apparent density and bulk density are the same, except for A482R which lists apparent density only.
