Manufacturing Applications

Advanced ceramics provide protection, separation, filtration and control for manufacturing applications. They offer high performance and reliable solutions for the manufacturing industry.

How can advanced ceramics help manufacturing industry

In the context of manufacturing and processing, industrial machinery and equipment are subjected to high stresses from temperature, pressure, corrosion and abrasion. In such situations, Designers often look to a suitable alternative and ceramic materials based on oxides and non-oxides. Understanding the exact conditions in which something will be put to use is imperative for choosing the right material. In such cases, advanced ceramics act as a perfect solution.

Protection Tubes

Proper temperature regulation is needed for thermal processes like heat treatment and combustion. Aluminum die-casting and holding furnace heating elements are protected from mechanical contamination, corrosion, and wear by ceramic protection tubes. Example: Ceramic protection tubes protect heating elements in the die-casting process for aluminum, helping them perform optimally and last longer.

Foam Filters

Specifically, solid and liquid impurities within aluminum & steel must be cleaned up before casting metals melted in processes. For the removal of impurities, ceramic foam filters are considered as the best solution. Heat shock resistance, of course operating temperature, corrosion resistance as well as processability are some of the important criteria for selection of ceramic raw materials. Foam filters are generally made of zirconia and alumina ceramics.

Separation Membrane

High quality ceramic materials used to produce membranes are highly mechanically robust, resistant towards solvents, acids, alkaline solutions up to high concentrations. By being able to run on heat or electricity, they can be applied wherever these resources are unused and abundant, resulting in high efficiency and versatility. Elimination of thermal processing stages is an advantageous feature of membrane separation processes, yielding energy-efficient but effective separation systems.

Valves and Fittings

In manufacturing, valves and fittings must withstand chemical abrasion mechanical tolerance and high-temperature steam pressure even with automatic greaser.Because of the simultaneous wearing out or erosion, these valves are exposed to very high temperatures and chemical reactions that create a solid solution for manufacturing industries to choose ceramic valves and fitting due to their wear resistance, chemical resistant, temperature-resistant & dimensional stability. Using ceramic valves and fittings in chemical processing, which assures stable service for a long time of operation.
