Silicon nitride is a high-performance ceramic that is used in foundry applications for aluminium and magnesium casting. The material Si3N4 silicon nitride is particularly suitable for components like thermocouple protection tubes and riser tubes for low-pressure die casting as well as a heating tubes to keep liquid aluminium hot.
Silicon nitride is one of the materials our riser and heating tubes are made of.
Special characteristics
Polished version: Riser tubes in polished version have an improved service life
Chemical resistance: Silicon nitride has excellent chemical resistance to Al melts, foundry chemicals, and caustic soda
High quality: Silicon nitride components comply with our high quality standards
