An Important Structural Ceramic Material Silicon Nitride Powder

Silicon nitride powder An inorganic substance with chemical formula Si3N4. It’s a structural ceramic material that is important for durability, lubricity and wear resistance. Silicon Nitride Properties: You can find silicon nitride in powder form. It comes in three colors: gray, white and off-white. Silicon nitride powder is highly insoluble… Continue reading

Silicon nitride synthesis method and forming processing

Silicon nitride You can obtain this chemical reaction at 1300-1400degC by directly mixing elemental silicon with nitrogen. Here is the chemical formula 3Si(s) + 2N2(g) -Si3N4(s) This can be made with diimine. SiCl4(l) + 6NH3(g) -Si(NH)2(s) + 4NH4Cl(s) (at 0 degC) 3Si(NH)2(s) -Si3N4(s) +N2(g) + 3H2(g) (at 1000 degC) Alternativly,… Continue reading

SiO2 has several types

Quartz powder summary Natural quartz (SiO2) or Silica Powder Fused After the quartz powder has been broken (or cooled SiO2 at high temperature), it is subject to flotation (or vibration), airflow, flotation and high-purity water treatment. Quartz powder is non-toxic, odorless and non-pollutible inorganic, nonmetallic, nonmetallic material. It’s used mostly… Continue reading
