Materials: Sialon
Sialon ST from McDanel Advanced Ceramic Technologies LLC is a ceramic alloy which is iso-structural with beta silicon nitride and contains aluminum and oxygen in solid solution. Consequently, it exhibits a very desirable combination of the properties of both silicon nitride (high strength, hardness, fracture toughness, and thermal shock resistance) and alumina (refractoriness, corrosion resistance, and oxidation resistance).

Traditional refractory products are used in high temperature applications where one or two of the following requirements are satisfied: corrosion resistance, thermal shock resistance, mechanical strength, abrasion resistance, electrical insulation. McDanel Sialon combines high levels of each of these properties in a single material.

McDanel Sialon products include various tubes, shrouds, pins, rings, plates, and various components. We also have significant capabilities for producing custom engineered Sialon products. Give us a call at a location near you, or fill out our Request for Quote form, so one of our experienced engineers can assist you in the material selection and design of your advanced ceramic component.

Grades Typical Uses

Sialon ST

Sialon ST is uniquely qualified for use in molten non-ferrous metal applications (e.g. zinc, aluminum, copper, and gold), corrosive chemicals, and abrasive fluids at temperatures exceeding 1000ºC. It is gas tight, chemically inert, highly wear resistant, and exceptionally corrosion resistant.
