Degradation of silicon nitride glow plugs in electric field-experiments and modeling
Silicon nitride (Si₃N₄) based ceramic Glow Plugs (GP) are considered by the automotive industry as a reliable, long-term source of ignition for natural gas and hydrogen internal combustion engines. The commercial GPs investigated in this work comprised of an all-ceramic heater with two U-shaped tung...
