Silicon(IV) nitride, Electronic Grade, 99.85% (metals basis), 90+% alpha-phase, Thermo Scientific Chemicals

Silicon nitride bearings are both full ceramic bearings and ceramic hybrid bearings with balls in ceramics and races in steel. Silicon nitride ceramics have good shock resistance compared to other ceramics. Silicon nitride is used for rocker arm pads for lower wear, turbocharger for lower inertia and less engine lag, and in exhaust gas control valves for increased acceleration.
