9. High Hardness
Silicon nitride ceramics are durable and long-term. Able to withstand harsh environments like high speeds, temperatures, corrosion and wear conditions for an extended lifespan, they help lower maintenance costs and enhance machine efficiency while decreasing costs and improving machine efficiency.
Sophisticated ceramic bearings not only reduce friction for an easier ride, but are non-magnetic and electrically insulating, making them suitable for hybrid steel-ceramic bearings as well as non-magnetic non-magnetic hybrid steel-ceramic bearings used for applications in aerospace, medicine, machine tools, measuring instruments radars missiles pumps compressors etc. Their corrosion-resistance keeps costs low while they also remain light weight while remaining light enough for energy-saving pumps compressors etc. Finally their self lubrication properties eliminate needing for additional lubricants thus saving on energy consumption costs as well.
10. Excellent Wear Resistance
Silicon nitride ceramic balls offer exceptional resistance against damage caused by abrasion, corrosion and friction wear, improving performance while simultaneously decreasing energy consumption – thus prolonging machine lifespan.
They also boast impressive fracture toughness, making them ideal for high-speed/ultra-high speed applications as well as environments with corrosion. Furthermore, their fracture toughness allows them to resist fatigue spalls in c-cracks and partial cone cracks which commonly plague conventional steel bearings – an advantage which makes them an excellent choice in high speed environments such as corrosion.
Isostatic pressing creates the spherical shape, applying uniform pressure without melting, to produce dense, hard materials with precise dimensions. These pieces are then ground to precise dimensional accuracy before being polished to reduce friction and preserve surface integrity.
