MACOR® Machinable Glass Ceramic Machinable with ordinary metalworking tools & combining the performance of a technical ceramic with the versatility of a high performance plastic.

A completely unique material, Solid Boron Nitride solves problems that could not possibly be tackled with other compositions such as Al₂O₃ or SiC.

Solid Boron Nitride fights off temperatures over 2,000°C and, depending on the grade, carries a dielectric strength of nearly 1000 volts/mil. Hot pressed in billet form, Solid Boron Nitride can easily be machined into rods, bars, plates and even custom shapes.

The highly exceptional characteristics of Solid Boron Nitride make it ideal for fixture or jig materials for sealing or brazing operations in induction, vacuum and atmosphere furnaces; for molten metal crucibles; heat sinks and high temperature insulators.

Solid Boron Nitride - Grade ZSBN

Developed for demanding applications requiring the combination of thermal conductivity, high wear resistance and boron nitrides corrosion resistance, Grade ZSBN boron nitride is a composite material combining the best thermal performance and machinability characteristics of hot-pressed boron nitride with the strength and non-reactivity of silicon carbide and zirconia.

Grade ZSBN is a uniquely high-performing solid that is especially suited for molten metal applications such as continuous casting breakrings where wear resistance and thermal conductivity are essential.

Key Properties

Chemically - Unparalleled resistance to molten metal wetting due to boron nitride content.

Thermally - Excellent high temperature operation and thermal shock resistance.

Mechanically - Excellent wear resistance and increased strength from zirconia and a small amount of silicon carbide. This feature, unique to ZSBN, results in remarkable corrosion resistance over a wide range of temperatures.

Machinability - Grade ZSBN is easily machined, even to complex shapes and forms, quickly and inexpensively. Machining tolerances of 0.002” or better are achievable.
