Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: What is the main difference between a Silicon Nitride disc and a Zirconia disc?
A1: The key differences lie in thermal shock resistance and high-temperature performance. Silicon Nitride's thermal shock resistance is far superior to Zirconia, making it much safer and more reliable under rapid temperature changes. Additionally, Silicon Nitride retains significantly higher strength and creep resistance above 800°C.
Q2: What level of flatness and parallelism can be achieved for the disc?
A2: Through our precision grinding and polishing processes, we can achieve a flatness of <1μm. Parallelism can be strictly controlled according to customer requirements to meet high-precision application needs.
Q3: Can the diameter and thickness of the disc be customized?
A3: Yes. We support non-standard customization. We can manufacture Silicon Nitride discs to your specific diameter, thickness, and surface finish requirements based on provided drawings or technical specifications.
