Advanced Ceramic Materials
International Syalons manufacture a family of silicon nitride based sialon ceramics, Syalon, developed for a wide variety of industrial and engineering applications demanding extreme wear, corrosion and thermal resistance. In addition, we also offer yttria stabilised zirconia, Zircalon, which compliments our range of sialons in many applications.
- Syalon 101
- Syalon 101 is a grade of sialon which offers the best general combination of properties. These include high strength, hardness and toughness as well as excellent corrosion resistance.
- Syalon 050
- Syalon 050 is suited to wear and high temperature applications. It has extreme hardness combined with high strength and can be used in applications up to 1400°C in air.
- Syalon 201
- Syalon 201 is a β-sialon, similar to Syalon 101 but with better retention of strength up to 1350°C in air.
- Syalon 501
- Syalon 501 is a composite grade of sialon developed to produce an electrically conducting ceramic. This allows Syalon 501 to be electro-discharge machined into complex shapes.
- Syalon 110
- Syalon 110 is a composite grade of sialon originally developed to have improved corrosion resistance to steel and outstanding thermal shock resistance.
- Zircalon
- Zircalon is a recently added material to our portfolio. It is characterised by very high strength and toughness giving it excellent wear resistance as well as excellent corrosion resistance.
