 Advanced ceramics in automotive industry

• In engines, heat resistant ceramic parts like valve

components.
• To increased efficiency, less wear and lower noise
emission.
 Advanced ceramics in equipment and
Mechanical Engineering
• High wear resistance, temperature resistance and high level of
corrosion resistance.
• These properties make ceramics safe than other materials in
equipment and Mechanical Engineering.
• Used in cutting tools and mechanical pumps.
 Advanced ceramics in Electronics
• Ceramic heat sinks provide the right climate
for high-power electronics.
• Capacitors
• Insulators
Advanced ceramics in Medical Technology
• Biocompatible and wear resistant advanced ceramics enable
doctors to provide patients with optimum care and help
patients master the challenges of everyday life again
• Artificial bone
• Dental products
 Advanced ceramics in Energy and
Environment
• Ceramic materials enable safe, low-wear process control
• Reduce emissions and ensures efficient use of resources in
many areas of energy supply and environmental technology
 Aerospace
• Engines: Shielding a hot running airplane engine from damaging
other components
• Airframes: Used as a high stress, high temperature and lightweight
bearing and structural equipment
• Space shuttle tiles
• Rocket nozzles, withstand and focuses the exhaust of the rocket
booster.
 Modern industry
• Zirconium dioxide is used in manufacturing of knives
• Ceramics such as alumina, boron carbide and silicon carbide have
been used in making bullet proof vests
• Silicon nitride parts are used in ceramic ball bearings
• High-tech ceramic is used in watchmaking for producing watch cases
 Other applications
• They are used in the manufacure of ceramic
filters for foundary
 Conclusion
• Ceramics find a wide range of applications and
we have discussed them in a brief note.
