Advanced ceramics have various properties that make them desirable for aerospace applications. Their most important advantages are lightweight, high temperature resistance, electrical insulation, high energy of ablation, resistance to corrosion, chemical stability, wear resistance, and ability to withstand vibration.
Ceramics are used in automotive industry mainly because they are lightweight, can withstand high temperatures, are capable of insulating thermally and electrically, exhibit excellent wear and corrosion resistance properties, and are safe and reliable.
Machines and equipment in chemical and pharmaceutical process engineering are often exposed to high stresses caused by temperature, pressure, corrosion and abrasion. In such cases, ceramic materials on oxide and non-oxide basis are often a suitable alternative for the designers.
Technical ceramics have many features that contribute to ecological applications. They can withstand temperatures above 1000 °C, which means they are ideal for use in photovoltaics, wind energy, and other power plant engine systems. In addition to this, ceramic components are also highly resistant to thermal shock, wear and corrosion.
Technical ceramic products are now proven components in the construction and control of sophisticated plants, machinery and equipment with electro technical component assemblies. A advanced materials has a wide range of electrical conductivity and good magnetic properties, They often enable smaller sizes compared with metallic materials.
The medical sector benefits from many properties of ceramics, such as inertness, non-toxicity, hardness, high compressive strength, low friction coefficient, wear and chemical resistance, sterile nature, ability to be manufactured with various degrees of porosity, very good aesthetics, and durability.
Advanced ceramic materials are essential in the semiconductor industry due to their high-temperature stability, excellent electrical insulation, corrosion resistance, and precision manufacturing capabilities.
Advanced ceramic materials are essential in security applications due to their high strength, hardness, wear resistance, and transparency to certain wavelengths.
