Boron Nitride Based Solids

NX Grades

Hot-pressed boron nitride (BN) solids are easily machinable materials formed by sintering at high pressures and temperatures. BN solids deliver excellent electrical insulation (except for BN-TiB₂ composites), and excellent resistance to molten metals, molten salts and many plasma environments.

Features and Benefits

Excellent electrical insulation protects materials against electrical failures and other safety concerns
Worry-free resistance to molten metals, salts and glasses protects against extremely high temperatures during metal processing
Machinable ceramics can be machined to tight tolerances

Our BN solids portfolio includes grades with and without binders, as well as composites to meet a wide array of specifications. Complementary ceramic additives can also be incorporated to optimize machinability, corrosion resistance and abrasion resistance. With comprehensive machining capabilities, our BN solids portfolio is available in everything from common stock shapes and sizes to bespoke items.

Potential Applications

Insulators for electrical equipment, high temperature furnaces, and semiconductor equipment
Crucibles for metal evaporation
Nozzles, thimbles, and molds for metal processing
