ATC-CB05 is Silicon nitride base ceramic Material.it is inorganic non-metallic covalent bonding compounds. The characteristics of silicon nitride ceramics are high temperature resistance, low thermal conductivity, chemical inertness, good wear resistance, thermal shock resistance, and good self-lubrication.Its basic structural unit is tetrahedron, silicon atoms are located in the center of the tetrahedron, four nitrogen atoms are located in the four vertices of the tetrahedron, and then in the form of each three tetrahedron share a silicon atom in three-dimensional space to form a continuous and robust network structure, many of the properties of silicon nitride are because of its special structure. Silicon nitride (Si3N4) is an important structural ceramic material. It is a high-temperature structural ceramic, with high strength, high hardness, thermal shock resistance, corrosion resistance and good chemical stability and other excellent properties. Silicon nitride ceramics have high hardness, wear resistance, Mohs hardness is second only to diamond, cubic boron nitride, boron carbide, silicon carbide, is the fifth hard atmospheric pressure solid phase. It has high thermal stability, small Coefficient of thermal expansion and good thermal shock resistance. At the same time, it also has excellent oxidation resistance, can be used in the air up to 1400 and is not oxidized. In addition, silicon nitride ceramics have good wet chemical corrosion resistance, can withstand almost all inorganic acids and less than 30% caustic soda solution, and can also resist many organic acids corrosion.

Benefits of ATC-CB05
Due to their exceptional resistance to acids, alkalis, and salts, silicon nitride bearings are ideal for chemical pumps, valves, and equipment handling corrosive media, outperforming traditional metal bearings in these environments.
ATC-CB05 is used in wind turbines for generator and pitch system bearings, offering durability, load-carrying capacity, and resistance to salt spray corrosion for an extended operational lifespan. In electric vehicles, their electrical insulation properties prevent galvanic corrosion in motor bearings.
ATC-CB05 bearings are used in semiconductor manufacturing equipment due to the high speeds, low lubrication conditions, and need for resistance to magnetic fields. Their insulating and non-magnetic properties are beneficial in these applications.
Alumina ceramics provide excellent insulation and are used for electronic components, electrical insulators, and microwave components.
