Methods for processing Silicon Nitride.
Methods for processing Silicon Nitride.
(OP)
Hello folks,
I may as well start by saying that I'm a total newbie and out of my league here... so, here it goes:
Can anyone tell me methods by which silicon nitride can be fabricated? Is it a sintering method? Can complex geometries be created? Is the required tooling expensive? Does anyone have a resource they could point me to?
Also, if I wanted to use silicone nitride as a wear surface over a metal such as tool steel, what are my fastening/bonding options to attach the silicon nitride to the steel?
Thanks,
Tux





RE: Methods for processing Silicon Nitride.
For getting an idea of your question you could profitably study the following:
"Engineered Materials Handbook Volume 4: Ceramics and Glasses", from
http://www.asminternational.org/portal/site/www/
You may be able to find it in a technical books library.
Good luck!
