Ceramic Materials: Thermal Conductivity & Insulation

When we think about ceramic materials and thermal conductivity, our first instinct might be to assume they're always excellent thermal insulators. However, the reality is that engineering ceramics come with a wide range of thermal conductivities, with the lowest and...

High Strength “Ceramic Steel” Zirconia

High Strength “Ceramic Steel” Zirconia

Unlike traditional ceramics that tend to be hard and brittle, Zirconia (ZrO2) has high strength, wear resistance and a flexibility far beyond those of most other technical ceramics. Zirconia (ZrO2) also has excellent corrosion and chemical resistance without the...

Ceramic Thermal Conductivity

Ceramic Thermal Conductivity

Ceramic thermal conductivity, the science of keeping cool!Ceramic thermal conductivity and their use in applications requiring high thermal conductivity, is a growing specialist market. The use of oxide ceramics is the most common as the base material cost is cheaper...

Super Hard Ceramics – They don’t get much tougher

Super Hard Ceramics – They don’t get much tougher

In the world of advanced ceramics, there are two materials which are only surpassed by diamond and cubic boron nitride in terms of hardness – and both are used by Precision Ceramics as a base material for a wide range of technical components in an equally wide field...
