Ceradyne material knowledge and manufacturing capabilities are used to produce custom
and commodity products for solving materials related problems in diverse environments.
- Bearing and Rolling
Elements
The use of silicon nitride in hybrid ball bearings reduces friction and improves
bearing reliability.
- Check Valves
Silicon nitride check valve balls are used to extend the life of sucker rod pumps.
- Hybrid Ball Bearings
High strength and contact fatigue resistance are attributes of silicon nitride ball
bearings.
- Roller Bearings
Silicon nitride roller bearings run at higher speeds with reduced friction.
- Boiler Ferrules
Performance benefits include resistance to severe thermal shocking and elimination
of metal dusting.
- Paper Processing Dewatering
Tiles
Ceradyne ceramics solve wear related problems during the paper making process.
- Metal Forming Rolls
Silicon nitride looper, squeeze and guide rollers for the production of copper rod,
and silicon nitride
forming rolls for the manufacture of stainless steel tubing.
- Mineral Processing
Tiles
Advanced ceramics improve the performance of components in mineral processing equipment.
- Sand Blast Nozzle
Liners
Advanced ceramics offer high hardness and wear resistance for blast nozzle liners.
