Silicon nitride powder is a key material used in automotive engineering. It is made from reaction-bonded silicon nitride (RBSN), a unique metal matrix ceramic composite material. This advanced ceramic has uniquely shaped properties that make it an excellent choice for applications in the automotive industry.
Silicon nitride can be used in a variety of ways in automotive engineering, from coating engine components to improving wear resistance on various components, and even in fuel-cell production.
The major benefit of silicon nitride powder for automotive engineering is its superior mechanical properties. It is a relatively lightweight and strong material, with a high resistance to heat and corrosion.
Additionally, the material is capable of performing optimally in both extreme hot and cold temperatures. It is also hard and durable, with an excellent abrasion and wear resistance.
In addition, the material has great thermal shock resistance and low thermal conductivity which allow it to handle quick temperature changes without cracking. This is especially beneficial for air, fuel and oil systems in automobiles as it prevents damage to parts from sudden changes in temperature.
Silicon nitride powder also has high electrical insulation resistance and can also be used to provide electrical insulation for high-voltage components or as a coating to increase the life expectancy of electrical components.
The Global automotive Silicon Nitride Powder market accounted for $XX Billion in 2023 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2024 to 2030.
A new standard line of 230V silicon nitride (SN) igniters for industrial or residential gas furnaces, water heaters, boilers, and gas stoves has been introduced by Kyocera Corporation. Because silicon nitride is used in the product, it has outstanding endurance and extremely stable, dependable ignition performance.
Using extremely dependable silicon nitride ceramics with integrated elements that transform electricity into heat, Kyocera’s standard line of 230V igniters for gas equipment and other devices can reach 1,000º C in roughly two seconds. To ignite gas equipment and other devices, SN igniters use ceramic materials with integrated heating elements that transform electricity into heat. For many years, Kyocera has created and manufactured glow plugs with custom designs in large quantities, utilizing silicon nitride as a preheating material for diesel engines.
By utilizing incredibly dependable technologies that we have developed for automotive components, their new standard line of SN heaters can support numerous other diverse applications “off the shelf”.
