REACTION BONDED SILICON NITRIDE
A VERSATILE ADVANCED ENGINEERING CERAMIC

PROPERTIES
NITRASIL R is strong and stable at high temperatures. The flexural strength of 190 MPa is maintained to 1000⁰C.
Light in weight, 2.4 g/cm³.
Low expansion coeffient of 3x10^-6/⁰C, gives good thermal shock resistance.
Resistant to oxidation up to 1150⁰C, and to attack by a wide range of chemicals and molten non-ferrous metals.
Electricallyresistant; no effect in HF inductive feilds.
