Kiselnitrid
Kiselnitrid, also known as silicon nitride (Si₃N₄), is a ceramic compound composed of silicon and nitrogen. It is a hard, refractory material with notable mechanical strength and resistance to thermal shock, making it useful in high-temperature applications. The chemical structure of silicon nitride consists of silicon atoms bonded to nitrogen atoms in a complex network, forming a covalent lattice that contributes to its exceptional properties.
Silicon nitride is typically produced through a process called nitridation, where silicon powder is heated in
One of the primary advantages of silicon nitride is its high hardness and wear resistance, which makes
In engineering, silicon nitride is commonly used in automotive components, such as turbocharger rotors and engine
