About Silicon Nitride Carbide Sponge

Silicon Nitride Carbide sponges have high porosities- 75-95% of volume is empty space. Silicon Nitride Carbide sponges are produced by injecting gas or mixing a foaming agent into molten metal which creates a froth that is stabilized by a high-temperature foaming agent. Silicon Nitride Carbide sponges are cellular structures made with a large volume fraction of pores. Ceramic foam is often used for thermal insulation, acoustic insulation, adsorption of environmental pollutants, filtration of molten metal alloys, and as substrate for catalysts requiring large internal surface area. Silicon Nitride Carbide Sponge is generally immediately available in most volumes. Additional technical, research and safety (MSDS) information is available. Sponge traits include low density, high stiffness, high energy absorbance, low thermal conductivity, low magnetic permeability, fire resistance, and sound dampening qualities. Silicon Nitride Carbide sponges are used in a wide variety of applications potentially including heat exchangers, energy absorption, flow diffusion, and lightweight optics.

Silicon

See more Silicon products. Silicon (atomic symbol: Si, atomic number: 14) is a Block P, Group 14, Period 3 element with an atomic weight of 28.085. Silicon Bohr Molecule The number of electrons in each of Silicon's shells is 2, 8, 4 and its electron configuration is [Ne] 3s² 3p². The silicon atom has a radius of 111 pm and a Van der Waals radius of 210 pm. Silicon was discovered and first isolated by Jöns Jacob Berzelius in 1823. Silicon makes up 25.7% of the earth's crust, by weight, and is the second most abundant element, exceeded only by oxygen. The metalloid is rarely found in pure crystal form and is usually produced from the iron-silicon alloy ferrosilicon. Elemental Silicon Silica (or silicon dioxide), as sand, is a principal ingredient of glass, one of the most inexpensive of materials with excellent mechanical, optical, thermal, and electrical properties. Ultra high purity silicon can be doped with boron, gallium, phosphorus, or arsenic to produce silicon for use in transistors, solar cells, rectifiers, and other solid-state devices which are used extensively in the electronics industry.The name Silicon originates from the Latin word silex which means flint or hard stone.
