Silicon nitride (Si₃N₄) is a high-performance structural ceramic known for exceptional hardness, thermal stability, and resistance to oxidation and thermal shock. It is widely used in demanding aerospace, automotive, and industrial applications where conventional materials fail, including gas turbine components, cutting tools, bearing elements, and high-temperature structural parts that must withstand extreme thermal cycling and mechanical stress.
