Aluminium oxide
AI203
The material has a uniquely diversified range of applications because of its numerous degrees of purity. We offer aluminum oxide with a purity ranges from 96.0% to 99.8%.
Application
- Wear parts for the textile and the machine engineering industry
- Suitable for high temperatures and corrosive environments, e.g. in laboratories
- Insulating parts for electronics and electrical engineering
Properties
- Electrical insulation
- Thermal resistance
- Resistance to thermal shock
- Hardness
- Pressure resistance
Zirconium dioxide
ZrO2
Zirconium dioxide has the unique feature that it impedes the spread of cracks through the so-called transformation toughening mechanism. No other ceramic material shows such a high fracture toughness combined at the same time with such high stability.
Application
- Sensor Technology (lambda sensors) for oxygen ion conduction
- Components that face frequent temperature changes, e.g. draw dies and high-temperature insulating parts
- In cases where high fracture toughness is required, e.g. for medical instruments
Properties
- Thermal insulation
- Thermal resistance
- Flexural Strength
- Electrical insulation
- Fracture toughness
Alumina Toughened Zirconia (ATZ)
ATZ
With this kind of mixed ceramic, a small amount of aluminum oxide is added to the zirconium oxide to significantly improve the wear-resistance, elasticity and toughness.
Application
- Bearings and guide parts for machine engineering
- Medical implants
Properties
- Thermal insulation
- Flexural Strenth
- Electrical insulation
- Temperature and thermo shock resistance
- Fracture toughness
Zirconia Toughened Alumina (ZTA)
ZTA
With this mixture of ceramics, a small amount of zirconium dioxide is added to the aluminum oxide which significantly improves the hardness and stability and simultaneously increases the toughness.
Application
- Cutting materials for machine
- Valves, gear wheels
- Sensors
- For highest mechanical loads
Properties
- Hardness
- Resistance to pressure
- Resistance to thermal shock
- Reistance to temperature
- Flexural Strenth
Steatite
Steatite
Steatite belongs to a group of silicate ceramics and is composed of magnesium silicate. Because of its excellent processability, the material can be produced economically.
Application
- Isolators and fuses
- High frequency technology
- Especially used in the electronics and automotive industry
Properties
- Thermal insulation
- Electrical insulation
- Resistance to thermal shock
