Momentive Performance Materials BIN77 Aluminum Nitride/ Boron Nitride Composite

Boron Nitride is a unique engineering material. It is a soft, machinable ceramic which can be combined with other refractory ceramics including Aluminum Oxide, Silicon Nitride, Aluminum Nitride, Mullite and Titanium Diboride. This results in composites which are machinable, thermal shock resistant, and chemically compatible in a wide range of environments. In combination with Titanium Diboride, for example, BN can be used as a heating source for the aluminum metallization of films and papers. BN composites are also used as break-rings in the horizontal continuous castings of steel and nozzles in rapid solidification processes. Other composite applications include the following: High temperature refractory shapesGlass forming tools and refractoriesMolds, dies and refractories for metalformingFurnace vents, stacks and fixturesInformation provided by Momentive Performance Materials, formerly GE Advanced Ceramics.
