Silicon Nitride Crucible
The strength of silicon nitride, especially hot-pressed silicon nitride, is one of the hardest substances in the world.
Silicon Nitride Crucible, Si3N4 crucible
Silicon nitride crucible is sintered by gas pressure sintering, it has good resistance to acid and weak alkaline corrosion, such as boiled hydrochloric acid, concentrated nitric acid, aqua regia, sulfuric acid, sulfuric acid and aluminum hydroxide solution with a concentration below 25%. This dense silicon nitride has excellent oxidation resistance and can be used stably in an oxidizing atmosphere below 1400 ° C. Silicon nitride material also has good stability to metal melts and is not wetted, such as molten metals zinc, gold, silver, aluminum, cadmium, indium, lead, bismuth, gallium, germanium, etc. and their alloys such as yellow copper, hard aluminum, nickel silver, etc. all have good corrosion resistance.
Silicon nitride ceramic is an inorganic material ceramic that does not shrink during sintering. The strength of silicon nitride, especially hot-pressed silicon nitride, is one of the hardest substances in the world. Si3N4 plate & sheet is a covalent bond compound with high strength, low density, and high temperature resistance.

Packing of Silicon Nitride Crucible
As a ceramic material, silicon nitride is quite fragile in a lot of cases. Our silicon nitride crucibles are carefully handled to minimize damage during storage and transportation. Suitable outer boxes and inner cushioning materials are used for Si3N4 products, vacuum packing is also engaged for some of the parts.
