Description

Why Choose Si3N4?

1. Feature
○ Material Composition: 100% High-purity Gas-Pressure Sintered Silicon Nitride Si3N4 Ceramic.
○ Hardness & Toughness: Vickers Hardness ≥1500 HV Fracture Toughness 6.5 – 7.5 MPa.m½
○ Electrical Insulation: Volume Resistivity > 10¹² Ω·cm at room temperature.
○ Geometric Precision: Concentricity up to ±0.01mm, smooth surface roughness (Ra ≤ 0.4 μm).

2. Advantage
○ Zero Welding Spatter Adhesion: Unlike KCF or stainless steel pins, molten welding spatter cannot stick to the Si3N4 surface due to its extremely low wettability with molten metal.
○ Superior Thermal Shock Resistance: Can withstand sudden temperature drops and rises (up to 800℃ thermal shock temperature difference) without cracking or chipping.
○ Never Deform under High Pressure: Maintains its original dimensions under continuous, high-frequency pneumatic welding pressure.
○ Permanent Physical Insulation: It is a non-conductive bulk material. There is no surface coating to wear off, completely eliminating the risk of current breakdown.

3. Benefit
○ Zero Downtime for Cleaning: Operators no longer need to stop the production line frequently to scrape off welding slag from the pins, drastically increasing your Hourly Output (OEE).
○ 100% Thread Protection: Guarantees that the nut threads remain perfectly clean and free of spatter, eliminating costly rework or scrapped automotive sheets.
○ Ultra-Long Lifespan (Cost Reduction): Lasts 5 to 10 times longer than traditional KCF pins and 30+ times longer than coated steel pins, significantly lowering your annual consumable procurement budget.
○ Perfect Welding Consistency: Exceptional dimensional stability ensures that every single nut is located with 100% accuracy, maintaining a zero-defect rate for your OEM clients.
