Silicon Nitride Ceramic Plunger

Silicon nitride ceramic plunger, also known as an insulating ceramic piston, demonstrates the outstanding performance of silicon nitride ceramics as industrial-grade fasteners:

Excellent Mechanical Strength and Wear Resistance

With a high elastic modulus of 290 GPa and Vickers hardness reaching 1500 HV, these properties provide exceptional wear resistance and compressive strength, ensuring stability and long-term durability under high-load conditions.

High Heat Resistance and Thermal Shock Resistance

Capable of operating at temperatures up to 1200°C with a high coefficient of thermal shock stability up to 500°C, the plunger maintains dimensional stability and performance in environments with significant temperature fluctuations.

Superior Chemical Stability

The chemical inertness of silicon nitride allows it to perform well in various corrosive environments, making it particularly suitable for applications in chemical processing and medical equipment.

Excellent Sealing Performance and Low Friction

The smooth outer surface and precise machining dimensions of the plunger contribute to excellent sealing performance, reducing friction and wear during operation, thereby enhancing overall system efficiency.

Silicon nitride ceramic plungers find extensive applications in several demanding industrial settings, including:

Chemical Processing Equipment

Used in pumps and valves handling corrosive chemicals, the plunger's chemical stability and heat resistance ensure equipment reliability and safety.

Medical Devices

Utilized in medical equipment subjected to high-temperature and chemical sterilization processes to ensure safe and accurate operation.

Food Processing

Employed in equipment within the food industry where non-toxicity and corrosion resistance of silicon nitride plungers ensure food safety and processing efficiency.

High-Performance Pumps and Valves

Critical in industrial pumps and valves requiring superior sealing and durability, where the plunger's high temperature resistance and mechanical strength play a crucial role.

Silicon nitride ceramic plungers, with their outstanding wear resistance, high temperature performance, chemical stability, and excellent insulation properties, have become indispensable components in various extreme environments.
