Silicon
nitride is a composition of silicon and nitrogen chemical elements. It is
thermodynamically stable and used in an extensive range of applications.
Silicon nitride balls are made from silicon nitride powder by a series of
processes, also known as silicon nitride ceramic balls. These balls are gray or
black in color and are mainly used in bearings. These balls are appropriate for
applications where factors for instance high loads, high speeds, and extreme
temperatures are required. These are lighter than steel, non-porous,
non-magnetic, and non-corrosive. These balls are non-porous, thus, they are
capable of rotating faster than steel balls and are approximately frictionless.
Silicon nitride balls are used for high running speed and for high temperature
applications in machine tool spindles, motor racing, high speed air turbine
bearing, dental drills, aerospace, and in biotechnology industry. Additionally,
silicon nitride (Si3N4) ceramic has become a standard ceramic ball material for
hybrid ball bearings, which is very hard, over 2000 Knop, and very wear
resistant. Moreover, weight of these balls in only 40% of steel at 3.2 grams
per cm, and it has excellent facture strength even at elevated temperature.
According
to study, “World
Silicon Nitride Balls Market Research Report 2024(Covering USA, EU, China,
South East Asia, Japan and etc)” the key companies operating in the
world silicon nitride balls market are Toshiba Corp., ITI, CoorsTek, Ortech
Advanced Ceramics, Salem Specialty Ball, Inc., Winsted Precision Ball,
Redhill-balls, Spheric Trafalgar, Thomson Industries Inc., Hoover Precision
Products Inc., Sinoma, Jiangsu jinSheng, Boca Bearing, Shanghai Million Unite,
TN Americas Holdings, Inc., Zhongbo Ceramics, SRIM, ShenZhen JiuZhou Grinding,
HeFei Moke New Material, Meishibang Fine Ceramic, HSCCER, Enduro, Tsubaki
Nakashima, Timken, Kyocera, ZYS Bearing, SKF. Key companies are concentrating
on silicon nitride balls research & development (R&D), along with
acquisitions, mergers, and innovations in products, in order to support their
market share.
Based
on product type, silicon nitride balls market is segmented into Hot Isostatic
Pressing (HIP) and Gas Pressure Sintering (GPS). Based on raw material, market
is segmented into sintering aids (aluminum oxide and yttrium oxide) and silicon
nitride fine powder. Based on size, market is segmented into <0.5 inch,
0.5-1.0 inch, 1.0-1.5 inch and >1.5 inch. Based on application, market is
segmented into silicon nitride ball valve, silicon nitride bearing and others.
Silicon nitride bearing operates at high temperature and minimum lubrication.
In addition, based on end-use, market is segmented into aerospace, machine
tools, automotive, energy, and others. In aerospace, these balls are used to
reduce & maintain the weight.
The
silicon nitride balls market is driven by increase in oil & gas exploration
activities, followed by rise in technological advancements. However, high cost
of product may impact the market. Moreover, rise in applications across various
end-use industries is a key opportunity for market.
Based
on geography, China country holds major share in silicon nitride balls market
owing to growth in end-user industries in the country. The USA country is
expected to witness higher growth rate due to rise in automotive industries and
increase in disposable income of customers over the forecast period. The global
market is projected to grow at a CAGR of approximately 5.7% over the next five
years, will reach US $260 million in 2024, from US $200 million in 2019.
