Sialon Extrusion dies

Sialon Extrusion dies

Sialon Extrusion dies

Introducing a new line of sialons (a superior class of ceramics compared to silicon nitride) advanced ceramic extrusion and drawing dies.

At the same time, we introduce our new ultrasonic extrusion dies technology. The combination of this new sialon silicon nitride ceramic die and the ultrasonic technology will result in a up to 70% FASTER production compared to non-ultrasonic treatment. Silicon Nitride ceramic extrusion dies are used for the extrusion and drawing of non-ferrous alloys in the metal extrusion industry. With regards to Sialon ceramics, there is substitution of silicon by aluminum with corresponding atomic replacement of nitrogen by oxygen, to satisfy valency requirements. The resulting ‘solution’ has superior properties to the original pure solvent, syalon, silicon nitride or Si3N4 extrusion dies. Silicon Nitride ceramics have found extensive use in non-ferrous molten metal handling, particularly aluminum and its alloys, including metal feed tubes for aluminum die casting, burner and immersion heater tubes, injector and degassing for nonferrous metals, thermocouple protection tubes, crucibles and ladles.

Sialon Extrusion Dies for Copper, Brass & Non-Ferrous Alloys – Ultrasonic Technology for Up to 70% Faster Production

Sialon Ceramics presents a new generation of advanced Sialon extrusion and drawing dies – a superior class of technical ceramics that outperforms traditional silicon nitride (Si₃N₄). These high-precision dies are specially engineered for the extrusion and drawing of non-ferrous alloys such as copper, brass, and similar metals in the metal extrusion industry.

The revolutionary ultrasonic extrusion dies technology, when paired with our Sialon ULTRA™ ceramic dies, achieves up to 70% faster production speeds compared to conventional non-ultrasonic methods while delivering superior surface finish, reduced tool wear, and extended die life. Thanks to the unique Sialon composition (Si₃Al₃O₃N₅) – where silicon is partially substituted by aluminum and nitrogen by oxygen – these dies offer exceptional hardness, fracture toughness, thermal shock resistance, and wear resistance far beyond pure silicon nitride.

Key advantages include the best price/performance ratio on the market, extremely low maintenance and cleaning costs, virtually maintenance-free operation, and optimized performance for non-ferrous extrusion processes. Fully custom-made to your drawings with fast quotation turnaround (typically 4 weeks) and competitive pricing.

All Sialon ULTRA™ grades (ULTRA-001 to ULTRA-004) share these properties:

  • Bulk density: 3.1–3.3 g/cm³
  • Water absorption: 0%
  • Flexural strength: 580–1,020 MPa
  • Vickers hardness: 12.7–15.0 GPa
  • Fracture toughness: 4–7 MPa·m¹/²
  • Thermal conductivity: 23–54 W/(m·K)
  • Heat shock resistance: 550–900 °C
  • Volume resistivity: >10¹⁴ Ω·cm

Part of our technical ceramics range since 1986, these dies complement our full portfolio for molten non-ferrous metal handling. View Sialon Extrusion Dies – upload your drawing today for a custom quote. Quality warranty included (12-month coverage against defects).
