SiNeramics offers two classes of ceramic -- a non-densified reaction-
bonded silicon nitride (RBSN), and a fully densified sintered
reaction-bonded silicon nitride (S/RBSN). According to the company,
both can be processed in hours and can be shaped near-net for rapid,
low-cost finishing. The RBSN material reportedly features excellent
high temperature strength, thermal shock resistance and low
coefficient of thermal expansion. The S/RBSN material is much
stronger and tougher than high-range alumina, the company reports,
and exhibits even higher thermal shock resistance.
