Global and U.S. Hot Isostatic Pressed (HIP) Silicon Nitride Ball Market Report, Published by QY Research.
GMN Bearing GmbH struggled with frequent premature failures in high-speed spindle bearings used for electric vehicle motors and aerospace turbines. Conventional steel and sintered ceramic balls could not endure extreme rotational speeds and thermal loads, leading to microcracks and friction-induced wear. To solve this, the company transitioned to Hot Isostatic Pressed (HIP) Silicon Nitride Balls, engineered through simultaneous high temperature and isostatic gas pressure that eliminate internal porosity and enhance density. These HIP-processed Si3N4 balls offer exceptional hardness, fracture toughness, and thermal shock resistance while being 60% lighter than steel. After adoption, bearing life increased by over 5× under continuous operation, friction losses dropped significantly, and maintenance cycles were reduced. The material's high reliability under high-speed and high-temperature environments made it a critical component for next-generation EV drivetrains and aerospace rotating systems.https://www.qyresearch.com/reports/5431032/hot-isostatic-pressed--hip--silicon-nitride-ball

Case study for bidding
Time: March 2024
Supplier: Toshiba Materials Co., Ltd.
Buyer: SKF Group (Sweden)
Product: HIP Silicon Nitride Bearing Balls (12 mm, Aerospace Grade, 99.9% density)
Quantity: 420 tons
Contract Value: USD 278 million
Delivery Timeline: February 2025
Detailed Application Scenario
In this project, SKF Group utilized Toshiba's HIP silicon nitride balls for high-speed bearings in aerospace and electric vehicle (EV) drive systems. The HIP process produced ultra-dense, defect-free ceramics with exceptional fatigue life, enabling stable operation at rotational speeds exceeding 50,000 rpm.
The low density (about 40% that of steel) reduced centrifugal forces and wear, while the non-conductive nature of Si3N4 prevented electrical pitting-common in hybrid bearings for electric motors. These properties extended bearing service life and improved system efficiency under high-temperature and corrosive environments.
SKF selected HIP silicon nitride balls for their high reliability, superior surface finish (Ra < 0.02 μm), and resistance to thermal and mechanical shock, outperforming conventional steel and gas-pressure-sintered ceramics. This project underscored HIP silicon nitride's critical role in advanced aerospace, EV, and precision mechanical applications demanding extreme durability and reduced maintenance.
