Silicon Nitride Cam Followers For Engine Parts/INNOVACERA

Si3N4 is a technical ceramic material with high performance that is extremely hard and has high thermal shock and impact resistance at both room and high temperatures. The material is an electrical insulator and is resistant to attack by many molten metals. It can be polished to a very smooth reflective surface. Silicon nitride materials have been developed for automotive engine wear parts, such as valves and cam followers, and bearing. 

INNOVACERA has experience with prototyping and small production runs of custom silicon nitride engine and pump components. Silicon Nitride offers a number of benefits, such as low friction, high wear and chemical resistance, high temperature capability and high electrical resistivity. It is also one of the few ceramic materials that can withstand extreme thermal shock and thermal gradients produced in engines.
