Hot surface igniters are a resistance element made of silicon carbide or silicon nitride. Anywhere from 80 to 240 volts are applied to the wires attached to the igniter. A ceramic base insulates the wire connection to the carbide element which looks like the letter M on most applications. Spirals ......

Igniter applications: 1. Hot surface igniters (ignition of gas, oil, biomass, pellets) 2. Hot air generation 3. Tool heating 4. Melting / Welting / Soldering / Hot air soldering

Since the material properties strongly depend on the fabrication method, silicon nitride cannot be considered as a single material.

Today’s power module designs are primarily based on aluminum oxide (Al2O3) or AlN ceramic, but increasing performance demands are causing designers to consider advanced substrate alternatives. One example is seen in xEV applications where an increase in the chip temperature from 150°C to 200°C reduc......

The glow plug is used to preheat the intake air when the diesel engine starts at low temperature. Using the glow plug in winter can shorten the start-up time, reduce the battery current consumption and reduce the wear and tear of the purple oil machine.

Silicon nitride ceramic materials have high thermal stability, strong oxidation resistance, and high-level and excellent functions of commodity standard accuracy. Since silicon nitride is a covalent compound with high bond strength and can form an oxide protective film in the air, it also has outsta......
