Why Ceramics? 

Technical ceramic materials are not the same as the more commonly known ceramic materials used in the pottery, tiles and sanitary ware industry. Components made out of technical ceramics offer substantial advantages over components made out of metal. The utilization of technical ceramic in day-to-day life has significantly increased over the past decade. 

We are surrounded by products utilizing technical ceramics, which have been engineered to deliver optimum performance. Some of these products include kitchen knives, automobile breaks, biomedical implants, ballistic protection, and high-end watches. As you can see, the applications of highly engineered technical ceramics range across several industries and are growing at a rapid rate. 

Key benefits of Technical Ceramics: 

• Maximum thermal shock resistance
• Working temperature higher than 1,000° Celsius
• High wear and abrasion resistance
• Superior hardness and strength; second hardest to diamonds
• Excellent corrosion and chemical resistance

Advantages of Technical Ceramics over Steel

• Can withstand higher temperatures and pressures without compromising the integrity of the part
• Low co-efficient of friction; allows for lubrication-free operation
• 10x longer lifespan; reduces the frequency of production downtime leading to bottlenecks
• Chemically inert and corrosion resistant; allows for a rust free environment
• Excellent long lasting surface finishes can be achieved
• Superior electrical properties
