Revolutionizing Industrial Applications: Advanced Ceramics Performance
In many industrial settings and applications, products made from advanced ceramic materials outperform those made from traditional materials like plastics, metals, rubber, or glass. These materials may be suitable for short-term use, but often fail due to issues such as limited durability, insufficient strength, lack of thermal insulation, not being rigid enough, and other issues.
In applications that rely on material performance in wear, corrosion, elevated temperatures, constructing components with advanced ceramic materials mitigates the problems presented by traditional materials and gives the component mechanical, thermal, and chemical property advantages.
Advanced Ceramic Material Advantages
Wear Resistance
The hardness of advanced ceramics varies based on the material yet it consistently surpasses traditional materials. Sturdy intermolecular bonds within ceramic materials prolong their lifespan in scenarios of high wear. The hardness prevents deterioration over time, diminishing the cost of replacement.
Compression Resistance
Ceramic materials are ideal for applications that resist extreme compressive loads due to their mechanical properties.
Thermal Resistance
Advanced ceramics can maintain strength when exposed to extreme temperatures for long durations, making them well-suited for high-temperature applications that typically challenge traditional materials.
Reduced Warping and Deformation
Mechanical properties of exceptional hardness and rigidity allow ceramics to mitigate warping and deformation in high-temperature or compression scenarios.
Low Weight
Ceramic materials are dense, and components are more durable with a lower weight than components made with traditional materials, which is an advantage in many industry applications.
Lifespan and Cost Benefits
Each of the mentioned advantages of advanced ceramics result in the prolonged lifespans of ceramic components, heightening efficiency and reliability, and reduction in cost of repair or replacement of components made with traditional materials.
Prevent Contamination
Ceramic materials are chemically inert, coupled with having greater strength than glass, they are suitable for use as a non-soluble material. The chemical bonds of ceramics make them am appropriate choice for pharmaceutical, food, and medical applications.
Electrical Insulation
Advanced ceramic materials can function as electrical insulators, materials that do not conduct electric current by separating and isolating conductive elements, preventing the unintended flow of electricity.
Limit the impacts of corrosion
Ceramic materials are significantly more resistant to corrosion than plastics or metals, giving them heightened reliability and extended life.
