CVD Nitrides for Corrosion-Resistant Applications

Other useful refractory nitrides for corrosion protection are silicon nitride (Si3N4) and boron nitride (BN). Silicon nitride has good corrosion resistance and is not attacked by most molten metals as shown in Table 17.6 (see Ch. 10). [Pg.441]

Boron nitride is one of the most outstanding corrosion-resistant materials. It is inert to gasoline, benzene, alcohol, acetone, chlorinated hydrocarbons and other organic solvents. It is not wetted by molten aluminum, copper, cadmium, iron, antimony, bismuth, silicon, germanium, nor by many molten salts and glasses. It is used extensively as crucible material, particularly for molten metals, glasses and ceramic processing. [Pg.442]
