Chemical Composition & Resistance
- Primary Components: Si₃N₄ (≥95%), sintering aids (Al₂O₃, Y₂O₃).
- Corrosion Resistance:
- Acids/Alkalis: Resists HCl (≤20%), H₂SO₄ (≤50%), NaOH (≤30%) at 80°C.
- Oxidation: Stable in air up to 1,200°C with minimal surface oxidation.
- Hydrolysis: Low moisture absorption (<0.1%) ensures long-term stability.
