On April 18, 2023, Sinoma High-tech Nitride Ceramics Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Sinoma High-tech Nitride") and SKF officially signed a letter of intent for cooperation at the Shanghai Auto Show, aiming to cooperate in expanding the use of ceramic balls in high-quality, Prospects for localization and scaling applications. Zhang Weiru, chairman of Sinoma High-tech Materials Co., Ltd., and Wang Hui, president of SKF China and Northeast Asia, led the two teams to attend the signing ceremony. Through in-depth cooperation, the two parties will give full play to their respective advantages in silicon nitride materials, ceramic ball production and bearing applications, jointly develop and produce ceramic balls for new energy vehicles, precision machine tools and other applications, and provide reliable quality products for the global market. Hybrid ceramic ball bearing products and solutions.

Zhang Weiru, chairman of Sinoma High-tech Materials Co., Ltd., said: "The signing ceremony between Sinoma High-tech Nitride and SKF on the in-depth cooperation on silicon nitride ceramic rolling elements marks that the cooperation between the two parties will enter a new stage of development. The cooperation will provide stronger support for the localization and high-quality development of ceramic bearings in the fields of domestic new energy vehicles and precision machine tools, and promote the integration of the upstream and downstream industrial chains of silicon nitride ceramic bearings."

"With the vigorous development of China's new energy automobile industry, the market demand for related supporting parts has also ushered in a blowout growth. In order to respond to customer needs in a timely manner and provide innovative products such as ceramic ball bearings with high efficiency and high quality, SKF has carried out technical The localized layout of the whole value chain from R&D to production and manufacturing." Wang Hui, President of SKF China and Northeast Asia, said: "By joining hands with Sinoma High-tech Nitride, we will use the localized production of ceramic balls as an important component We will continue to optimize the layout of the end-to-end production chain and provide a strong boost to the acceleration of the new energy vehicle industry."

Sinoma High-tech Nitride and SKF have maintained a good foundation for cooperation. Since 2017, SKF’s powder factory Vesta Si in Sweden has supplied high-quality silicon nitride powder to Sinoma High-tech Nitride, and has continuously helped Sinoma High-tech Nitride to improve its quality system, ceramic ball surface detection capabilities, and optimize the manufacturing process. craft. In 2022, Sinoma High-tech Nitride officially passed the inspection requirements of SKF ceramic balls and supplied ceramic balls to SKF, becoming the first ceramic ball supplier in China to be included in the SKF supplier system. This means that the cooperation between the two parties has realized a comprehensive cooperation from the supply of raw materials to the manufacture of high-quality products. Sinoma High-tech Nitride is affiliated to China National Building Materials Group, which is a national high-tech enterprise and a national "Specialized Special New Little Giant Enterprise".

The company's silicon nitride ceramic research can be traced back to the 1970s, and it is one of the earliest units engaged in the research and development of silicon nitride ceramic materials in China. In 2015, Sinoma High-tech Nitride took the lead in breaking through the engineering technology of hot isostatic pressing silicon nitride materials, and became the first enterprise in China and the third enterprise in the world to realize batch production of hot isostatic pressing silicon nitride materials. At present, Sinoma High-tech Nitride is one of the largest domestic enterprises engaged in research and development, industrial manufacturing and application evaluation of high-performance silicon nitride ceramic materials.

Sinoma High-tech Nitride Company will adhere to the development vision of "building a world-class nitride technology-based enterprise", adhere to the innovation-led development strategy, and continue to make contributions to the development and application of nitride ceramics. The in-depth cooperation between Sinoma High-tech Nitride and SKF will further ensure the stable supply of high-quality hybrid ceramic ball bearings, and empower all walks of life to "drive" to a smarter and cleaner future!
