Silicon Nitride Ceramic Ignitor (Si3N4)

Product ID: 7ab3

This product takes tungsten wire as heat source which is buried in silicon nitride (Si3N4) substrate, through hot-pressing forming, sintering, grinding, and welding wire, to obtain ignition component. Due to adopting silicon nitride ceramic (Si3N4) as heating substrate material, this ignition overcomes all the drawbacks that the metal sleeve electric plug possesses: no high temperature tolerance, short life and long warming up time, etc., and can be made into proper shapes to fit application requirements.

Silicon nitride ceramic (Si3N4) ignition features in:

    • High electric insulation strength: No breakdown for 1 minute, at 2500V, 50Hz, and room temperature
    • High application temperature: maximum 1200 0C in air
    • High power at unit surface, up to 25 W/cm2
    • Small thermal inertia and fast heating, surface temperature can be increased to 1100 0C in 15 seconds
    • Acid and alkali corrosion resistance
    • Small size and light weight
    • Long service life up to 5000 h
    • Power on / off circle can reach 10 million times
    • Fast Preheat: when preheat temperature is 850 0C, the preheating time only need 3 to 5 seconds
    • Low-temperature starting performance: -30 0C reliable starting
    • High strength at high temperature, suitable for high-speed diesel engines and various high-temperature ignition
