Products and industrial applications in technical ceramics
The specific characteristics of each of the technical ceramics can be tailored for a particular application.
The high strength and hardness exhibited by some ceramics make them very suitable for wear applications.
Their chemical stability allows them to work in the presence of most acids and bases without suffering corrosion, even at high temperatures.
This allows the manufacture of components that are capable of working in environments where other materials could not withstand the conditions.
The ability of ceramics to withstand high temperatures make them excellent refractories, some can resist loads at temperatures over 1500 ° C.
These and other properties of new ceramic materials allow many applications, ranging from alumina discs in our sink faucets to the exterior linings of spacecraft. So, new ceramics have become one of the most versatile materials currently known.
