Technical ceramics — advanced ceramic materials by CeramTec AG

Technical ceramics are advanced ceramic materials that make those applications possible today and tomorrow that were thought to be nearly impossible just yesterday. CeramTec AG is a pioneer in the field of technical ceramics and all of its potential. The more than 100-year history of the company and its earlier companies along with the numerous innovations with ceramic materials speak for themselves. In general terms technical ceramics groups together a wide range of different ceramic materials whose properties have been synthetically optimized and matched to suit various technical applications.

 

Properties of Technical Ceramics.

Technical ceramics — specific characteristics

Examples of some (quite different) specific characteristics are:

  • Heat conductivity and shock resistance

  • Hardness and wear resistance

  • Chemical resistance

  • Piezoelectricity and dynamics

  • Fracture resistance and pressure stability

  • Corrosion resistance and biocompatibility

  • Electric insulation and dielectric strength

  • Temperature resistance

  • Thermal insulation

 

These characteristics alone and in combination enable technical ceramics to be used in a wide variety of applications in the automotive industry, electronics, medical technology or general equipment and machinery industry. Technical ceramic materials therefore stand in direct competition to metals or plastics and are used where these materials do not fulfill existing requirements in an optimal way or if new challenges cannot be overcome with conventional materials.

 

Technical ceramics — the variety and diversity of our materials and products

Countless material innovations and a product range that now encompasses more than 10,000 components and parts speak for the variety and diversity of the application possibilities technical ceramics has to offer.
