Versatile high-performance material: Technical ceramics
Aachener Quarzglas manufactures high-performance ceramic components with excellent mechanical, thermal, and chemical resistance for industrial applications.
Technical ceramics are high-performance materials that can be divided into four material groups: silicate ceramics, oxide ceramics, non-oxide ceramics, and piezoceramics.
Unlike other material classes, the properties of technical ceramics are closely linked to each individual step of the entire manufacturing process. As a result, ceramic materials exhibit highly variable characteristics. Due to this application-specific versatility, components made of technical ceramics are used in the automotive, electronics, medical, and energy industries — particularly in technical challenges that cannot be solved with conventional materials.
Material Properties of Technical Ceramics:
- High hardness and flexural strength
- Excellent thermal and chemical resistance
- High mechanical strength and dimensional stability
- Low coefficient of thermal expansion and high thermal conductivity
