Silicon nitride is in the group of hard covalent materials (Homlberg and Matthews, 1994) and often has amorphous structures with the atomic bonding which are formed with very high cohesive forces (Grzesik, 2008) that can withstand high temperatures, higher resistance to abrasive wear and improved ox...
