Syalons
Syalons are advanced silicon nitride based technical ceramics and are amongst the strongest and most durable ceramic materials known.
Their outstanding properties allow them to compete with other engineering ceramics and refractories such as zirconia (ZrO2), alumina (Al2O3) and silicon carbide (SiC) in many diverse industrial applications.
Syalons, also known as SiAlONs, were the world’s first commercially available advanced ceramic alloys.
