Thermal

Thermal properties characterize how a material reacts to changes in temperature. Advanced ceramics can be used to withstand and perform at extremely low and excessively high temperatures. Many of our advanced ceramics are tailored for a specific thermal performance or a combination of properties, where thermal conductivity, coefficient of thermal expansion, and thermal shock resistance are required to achieve an objective.

Electrical Properties

Electrical

The composition of most advanced ceramics makes them highly effective electric insulators. This is by far the most common use of all advanced ceramics. But some ceramics can be used as semiconductors or engineered to work with processes such as EDM machining when the demand arises. See the electrical performance of our materials based on:
