Applications of Technical Ceramics

The manufactured assemblies and ceramic components from BCE cover a very broad spectrum in various fields of applications and several industry sectors. The sophisticated and unique specific properties of varied ceramic materials such as Alumina, Zirconia, Mixed-Oxides as well as Nitrides and Carbides allow an improvement in numerous working processes compared to the use of steel components.

Generally ceramics can be characterized as very hard, enormous wear resistant, high temperature-stable and also resistant to most of popular acids and bases. Most ceramic materials offer excellent electrical insulating properties combined with a poor thermal conductivity. These characteristics allow an operation in various application areas and branches of industry.
