Why Ceramic?

Technical ceramic materials have the ability to make products lighter, more efficient, longer lasting, reduce maintenance intervals, and reduce operating costs. They are frequently being used to replace metals, polymers, and refractory materials in a wide variety of applications due to their notable high temperature capability, hardness, and electrical properties.

How to Choose Ceramic Material

Structural ceramics have superior strength, hardness, insulation, thermal conductivity, high temperature resistance, oxidation resistance, corrosion resistance, wear resistance, high temperature strength and other characteristics. Therefore, under very harsh environmental or engineering application conditions, structural ceramics show high stability and excellent mechanical properties.

The hardness of ceramic materials varies: Zirconia (ZrO2) and Alumina (Al2O3) typically range from 8.8 to 9.0 on the Mohs scale, finding applications in dental implants and cutting tools due to their mechanical properties. Silicon Carbide (SiC) and Silicon Nitride (Si3N4) both exhibit a hardness of 9.0 on the Mohs scale, making them suitable for abrasive materials, refractories, and high-wear applications such as bearings and turbine components. These ceramics play vital roles across industries, offering excellent hardness properties to enhance performance and durability.

The provided data represents dielectric strength measurements for various ceramic materials, with values ranging from 15.0 to 20.0 volts per unit thickness. Zirconia and silicon carbide exhibit the highest values of 20.0 volts per unit thickness, indicating excellent resistance to electrical breakdown. Alumina and silicon nitride show slightly lower dielectric strength values of 16.0 to 19.0 volts per unit thickness, still demonstrating good electrical insulating properties. Notably, one data point shows a dielectric strength of 0.0 volts per unit thickness, which may indicate a measurement error or a particular condition affecting the material's performance. Overall, the data highlights the varying dielectric strengths of different ceramic materials, underscoring their importance in diverse electrical and electronic applications.

The density of ceramic materials varies: Zirconia (ZrO2) typically ranges from 3.65 to 3.95 g/cm³ and is used in dental implants and thermal barrier coatings; Alumina (Al2O3) ranges from 3.75 to 3.94 g/cm³ and is common in cutting tools and electrical insulators; Silicon Carbide (SiC) ranges from 3.80 to 5.90 g/cm³ and is widely used in abrasive materials and semiconductor manufacturing; Silicon Nitride (Si3N4) ranges from 3.14 to 3.20 g/cm³ and finds applications in bearings and turbine components.

The compressive strength data for ceramic materials ranges from 1910 MPa to 3000 MPa. Silicon nitride exhibits the highest strength at 3000 MPa, followed closely by silicon carbide, alumina, and zirconia with values ranging from 2210 MPa to 2300 MPa. These ceramics find applications in industries such as aerospace, automotive, electronics, and medical devices, where their high mechanical strength is essential for structural components, cutting tools, and abrasives.

The thermal conductivity of ceramic materials varies widely: Zirconia (ZrO2) and Alumina (Al2O3) typically exhibit moderate to high thermal conductivity, ranging from 25.0 to 30.0 W/m·K, and are used in applications such as thermal barrier coatings and electrical insulators. Silicon Carbide (SiC) demonstrates exceptionally high thermal conductivity, ranging from 80.0 to 30.0 W/m·K, making it suitable for heat exchangers and electronic devices. On the other hand, Silicon Nitride (Si3N4) has a wide range of thermal conductivity values, from 2.5 to 30.0 W/m·K, and finds applications in gas turbine engines and cutting tools. These ceramics play crucial roles in various industries, providing effective thermal management solutions.

The maximum working temperature of ceramic materials varies: Zirconia (ZrO2) typically ranges from 1500°C to 1750°C and is used in thermal barrier coatings and dental implants; Alumina (Al2O3) ranges from 1650°C to 1900°C and is common in furnace linings and cutting tools; Silicon Carbide (SiC) ranges from 1700°C to 1900°C and is widely used in abrasive materials and semiconductor manufacturing; Silicon Nitride (Si3N4) ranges from 1050°C to 1900°C and finds applications in bearings and turbine components.
