TECHNICAL CERAMICS: UNLOCKING THE POTENTIAL OF REFRACTORY MATERIALS WITH SPS
Technical ceramics offer exceptional properties that make them ideal for a wide range of industrial applications. Through the Spark Plasma Sintering (SPS) process, dense and high-purity ceramic components can be produced in record time.
Oxides
Alumina (Al2O3) and zirconia (ZrO2) are the most commonly used oxides. Their hardness, toughness, heat resistance, and electrical insulation make them ideal for high-temperature applications such as thermal coatings and industrial furnace components.
Carbides
Silicon carbide (SiC) and boron carbide (B4C) are ultra-hard ceramics with excellent thermal and chemical stability. They are used in demanding applications such as brakes, cutting tools, and armor. Tungsten carbide (WC), as well as titanium, tantalum, and zirconium carbides, are also highly valued for their extreme hardness, wear resistance, and resistance to temperature and compression. They are used in the manufacture of cutting tools, molds, and mechanical components subjected to high stress.
SPS, an advanced sintering technique, enables rapid production of dense, fine-grained materials with exceptional properties.
NITRIDES AND COMPOSITES: HIGH-PERFORMANCE MATERIALS FOR DIVERSE INDUSTRIES
Nitrides are advanced ceramics offering exceptional mechanical, thermal, and chemical properties. Their unique characteristics make them ideal for demanding applications across various industries.
Silicon Nitride (Si3N4)
Known for its thermal shock resistance, low thermal expansion coefficient, and high mechanical strength, silicon nitride is used in engine components, ball bearings, and extreme environments like aerospace and energy.
