CeramTec ceramic materials
Advanced ceramic materials make applications possible today that were virtually inconceivable just yesterday. Due to their unique material properties, technical ceramics are considered to be one of the most efficient materials of our time.
Technical ceramics make decisive contributions to mobility. In the field of e-mobility, components made of high-performance ceramics have the potential to make a significant contribution to future-oriented, resource-saving and environmentally friendly mobility.
Technical ceramics are widely used in electronics and electrical engineering as well as in information and communication technology. Technical ceramics are used in a variety of applications such as circuit carriers, core materials, protective components, actuators and sensors.
Components made of ceramic materials perform their service in many technical systems and devices. Technical ceramics enable the safe functioning of plants, machines and equipment, the control of processes, the reduction of emissions and a responsible use of our resources.
Advanced ceramics provide the basis for CeramTec products. This material is also referred to as technical ceramics, engineering ceramics or industrial ceramics. These terms cover many different and in part highly-specialized ceramic materials with unique mechanical, electrical, thermal and biochemical properties and property combinations.
These specific characteristics can be further developed, optimized and matched for use in technical applications. It is also possible to combine different properties. Materials like these can be used to design advanced components that perform the required tasks with optimum precision and can be light years ahead of competing materials such as metal or plastic in the respective field of application. Components made from ceramic materials are increasingly the only solution available for technical challenges that cannot be overcome with conventional materials.
