Currently Used Materials
Al₂O₃
Alumina (Aluminum Oxide, Al₂O₃) is the most widely used technical ceramic. It combines excellent electrical insulation, hardness, wear and corrosion resistance, and high temperature stability – making it ideal for demanding industrial and technical applications.
Key Properties
- Electrically insulating with high dielectric strength
- Very hard and wear resistant
- Resistant to heat and corrosion
Typical Applications
- Electrical insulators and substrates
- Wire and thread guides
- Thermocouple protection tubes
- Pump and valve components
SSiC
Sintered Silicon Carbide (SSiC) is one of the hardest and most advanced technical ceramics. It combines exceptional hardness, wear resistance, and high-temperature stability with outstanding chemical resistance. This makes SiC the material of choice for demanding applications where other materials reach their limits.
Key Properties
