Sialon ceramics are a specialist class of high-temperature refractory materials, with high strength (including at high temperature), good thermal shock resistance and exceptional resistance to wetting or corrosion by molten non-ferrous metals, compared to other refractory materials such as, for example, alumina. A typical use is with handling of molten aluminium. They also are exceptionally corrosion resistant and hence are also used in the chemical industry. Sialons also have high wear resistance, low thermal expansion and good oxidation resistance up to above ~1000 °C. They were invented by Kenneth Henderson Jack in 1984.
Trend
In the next few years, demand for Sialon will increase in the US, Europe and Asia.
Production
The United States, Japan and Europe play a pivotal role in the global silicon-aluminum industry with their market share and technological position in the global silicon-aluminum industry. China, India and other developing countries have a large population, rapid economic growth, and good development momentum, and will play an important role in the future.
Although Sialon is highly competitive in the global market, there are many companies that can make substantial profits from the manufacturing and sales of Sialon, which is why we believe that companies will enter this market. However, it is recommended that companies entering the industry plan carefully analyze the market and their strengths or weaknesses.
