AG materials synthesis process allows for the manufacture
of different Sialon powder compositions. This gives AG materials the capability
to design tailor made Sialon powder compositions to satisfy our customer's needs. The usage of Sialon powder may enhance the sinterability and reduce the need for additional sintering additives.
ADVANTAGES:
Minimize the glass phase
The
presence of glass phase in intergranular regions
will deteriorate the high temperature oxidation and mechanical
properties of Sialon materials.
Simplify the process procedures
There is
no need to well mix several starting raw materials as a precursor to get Sialon
ceramics.
Different particle size distributions are available for
different applications, such PM and PIM, etc.
Traditional
Sialon ceramic is formed by sintering several different reactants to form
consolidated block, so this causes many limitations in application.
Pre-determined phase composition
Traditional
Sialon phase composition is formed after the reaction between Si3N4, Al2O3, AlN
and metal oxides sintering aids.
APPLICATIONS:
Monolithic Sialon sintered ceramics
Metal cutting tool inserts
Extrusion die inserts in non-ferrous metal industry
Milling medium
Cold drawing dies and plugs for stainless steel tube
Welding shrouds and location pins
Automotive components (valves, tappet shims, etc)
Gas turbine engines (shroud ring, rotor blades, etc)
