Advanced Engineering Ceramics：Applications and Advantages

Compared with traditional materials such as metals, advanced engineering ceramics are increasingly favored by more and more industries due to their superior performance and wide applications. Ceramic materials provide higher strength, wear resistance, and thermal stability, making them excellent in many demanding environments.

Applications

• Aerospace: Macor machinable ceramics are an advanced ceramic commonly used in the aerospace industry, such as insulation brackets, hinges for NASA spacecraft, and fixing rings on windows and doors.

• Electronic devices: Due to the excellent insulation performance of advanced ceramics, they are often used to manufacture substrates and insulators in electronic devices, especially in high-frequency and high-power applications, where the electrical characteristics of ceramic materials are more significant.

• Medical devices: Currently, many medical devices use advanced engineering ceramic components and sub assemblies, such as pump parts and high-voltage feedthrough components for X-ray image intensifiers, which can provide higher performance and longer service life for the equipment.

• Semiconductors: Advanced ceramics also have unique performance advantages in the semiconductor field, playing an indispensable role in insulation and thermal conductivity.

  Common examples include aluminum nitride (AlN) and aluminum oxide (Al ₂ O3), which are widely used in equipment such as wafers, packaging materials, substrates, optoelectronic devices, etc

Advantages

• High strength and wear resistance: Advanced ceramics have excellent strength and wear resistance, allowing them to be used for a long time in harsh environments, reducing the frequency of maintenance and replacement.

• Excellent thermal stability: such as aluminum oxide, aluminum nitride, etc., these materials can withstand high temperatures and are suitable for high-temperature applications, ensuring the normal operation of equipment

• Low thermal expansion coefficient: Advanced ceramics typically have a low thermal expansion coefficient, which allows them to maintain stable dimensions under temperature changes, making them suitable for the manufacturing of precision parts.

• Chemical inertness: Most engineering ceramics have good chemical inertness and can resist the erosion of various chemical substances, making them suitable for harsh chemical environments

In the application of advanced engineering ceramics, the design and manufacturing of precision ceramic parts can meet the personalized needs of various applications. For example, in electronic devices, the dimensional accuracy of ceramic substrates directly affects their electrical performance and reliability. High precision machining tolerance requires the use of advanced machining techniques such as CNC milling and grinding in the manufacturing process to ensure that the dimensions and shape of the parts meet the design standards. This not only improves the performance of the product, but also reduces the risk of malfunctions caused by size mismatch.
