Silicon Nitride (Si₃N₄) is a unique technical ceramic, available from Morgan as SSN Nilcra^® SSN E.

SSN Nilcra^® SSN E grade

Nilcra^® SSN E is an exceptionally reliable, hard-wearing and nonporous silicon nitride; a high strength ceramic designed for applications demanding high durability, toughness, corrosion, and wear resistance even at very high temperatures (up to 1,000°C [1,832°F]).

Additionally, its low coefficient of thermal expansion, combined with high strength and toughness, provides excellent thermal shock resistance outperforming most other ceramic materials when used in demanding high temperature conditions.

Nilcra^® SSN E is a sintered silicon nitride based ceramic material containing interlocking grains of beta phase silicon nitride contributing to outstanding durability and performance.

Morgan's SSN E is suitable for a range of applications:

• Severe duty valve trims and pumps
• HF weld rolls for steel & aluminium tube production
• Materials handling
• Semiconductor applications
• Precision balls and bearings
