Fine Ceramics in Space
ALUMINA:
Alumina is the most widely used material among fine ceramics, and exists under two distinct structures: polycrystal (sintered alumina) or monocrystal (sapphire). Its applications are diverse due to its superb properties such as high insulation, high strength, high wear resistance and chemical resistance.
SILICON NITRIDE:
Silicon nitride is a material with excellent specific strengths and very good thermal shock resistance up to application temperatures of 1600°C. The low thermal expansion in combination with high stiffness, strength and fracture toughness qualifies the material especially for applications where abrasion is a major problem. Typical applications are parts for mining, milling, mixing and oil and gas industry.
SILICON CARBIDE:
Silicon carbide retains its strength at elevated temperatures as high as 1400°C. In its sintered form (sintered SiC - SSiC) it features high corrosion resistance. As silicon-infiltrated SiC - SiSiC, high precision parts with fine detailed and complex structures can be manufactured. Applications include mechanical seals, pump parts, semiconductor equipment related frame and structural components.
ZIRCONIA:
Zirconia offers high strength and toughness. Before zirconia, ceramics were considered impractical for scissors or knife applications. With its excellent properties, zirconia is also used for engineering applications such as pumps.
SPECIAL CERAMICS:
〇ur portfolio also includes other ceramics such as aluminum nitride, aluminium titanate, single crystal sapphire, ferrites, dielectric ceramics and special materials like cordierite. Each of the materials has a customized application.
