According to Jinde, a materials engineering company in China:
“氮化硅的分子式为Si3N4，晶型有α-型和β-型两种，均为六方晶系。氮化硅为灰色，Si3N4含量为98.5%，游离硅1.5%。其熔点为1900℃（升华分解），强度高，热膨胀性小，有韧性，抗侵蚀性强。氮化硅系用氮气将硅粉氮化后经烧结而成。主要用于高级耐火材料中。”
According to CoorsTek, an American materials engineering company:
“Silicon Nitrides (Si3N4) have a unique grain structure which delivers both exceedingly high strength and toughness and exceptionally high thermal shock resistance — making it ideal for applications with high dynamic stresses, thermal rigor, and demanding reliability requirements.”
