Product Description
Silicon nitride structural plates provide support, locating and wear-contact surfaces in fixtures and thermally cycled equipment.
The plate forms a stable working surface for supporting or positioning parts. Silicon nitride combines strength, fracture toughness and wear resistance with low thermal expansion and good thermal shock resistance, making it useful where both mechanical loading and temperature changes occur.
These structural plates differ from thin electronic circuit substrates: their primary role is mechanical support, positioning or wear contact.
Product Features
- Strength and fracture toughness for structural duties
- Hard wear-contact surfaces
- Low thermal expansion for dimensional stability
- Thermal shock resistance for cycling temperatures
- Flat and featured plate configurations for supports and fixtures
Typical Applications
- Structural supports and wear plates in machinery
- Locating and support surfaces in precision fixtures
- Welding fixtures exposed to thermal cycling
- Drawing-based plates for thermal-process equipment
