Development of advanced ceramic material industry(二)

Key Takeaways Advanced ceramics (alumina, zirconia, silicon nitride, SiC) are growing across semiconductor, new energy, and medical applications. Their hardness and brittleness make precision machining a key bottleneck — and a driver for diamond wire loop cutting adoption. China's advanced ceramics industry is moving from raw-material supply toward high-value precision components. Development of advanced ceramic material industry(二) Porous ceramics Porous ceramic is a kind of ceramic material with a large number of interconnected or closed pores, which has the advantages of high temperature resistance, corrosion resistance,...

Development of advanced ceramic material industry(一)

Key Takeaways Advanced ceramics differ from traditional ceramics in raw materials and processes: they are made from high-purity, ultra-fine powders with designed composition and structure, precise chemical metering and new preparation technology. They fall into two families: structural ceramics (high strength, hardness, corrosion, wear and high-temperature resistance for load-bearing parts) and functional ceramics (dielectric materials that detect, transform, store and transmit electrical, magnetic, optical, acoustic, thermal, chemical or biological signals). Functional ceramics underpin electronic information, integrated circuits, computers, automatic control, defense, aerospace, biomedicine,...

What is industrial ceramics?

Key Takeaways Industrial ceramics are fine ceramics used in industrial production, delivering mechanical, thermal and chemical functions in application. High temperature, corrosion, wear and erosion resistance let industrial ceramics replace metals and organic polymers in harsh working environments, with broad prospects in energy, aerospace, machinery, automotive, electronics and chemical industries. Industrial ceramics divide into ordinary (clay-based) ceramics and special ceramics such as alumina, silicon carbide and lithium oxide ceramics. Ordinary ceramics are fired from clay, feldspar and quartz; they serve as electrical porcelain for...

Quartz Crucible Industry Trends: Semiconductor & PV

Development trend of quartz crucible industry: semiconductor and photovoltaic two-way drive 1、 Overview of Quartz Crucible Quartz crucible is a container made of high-purity quartz sand, which is clean, homogeneous, high temperature resistant, and is widely used in the production process of refining crystalline silicon in the solar energy and semiconductor fields. According to the type of inner quartz, it can be divided into synthetic quartz crucible (SQC) and natural quartz crucible (NQC). The technical progress of China's quartz products industry is relatively...

High Purity Quartz: 3N-7N Grades and Applications

Key Takeaways High-purity quartz is the feedstock for semiconductor crucibles, PV ingot growth and optical components. Purity sets the performance ceiling of everything made from it — crucibles, tubes, windows. It is hard, brittle and expensive, so cutting is done with diamond wire to limit kerf loss. What is High Purity Quartz? High-purity quartz is a rare high-tech strategic mineral resource in the world. It is an irreplaceable mineral raw material for the manufacture of high-tech quartz glass and a rare generic high-value-added mineral resource...

Types of Optical Glass

Types of Optical Glass Key Takeaways Optical glass comes in six main types: colorless optical glass, anti-radiation optical glass, radiation-resistant optical glass, tinted (filter) glass, ultraviolet and infrared optical glass, and optical quartz glass. Colorless optical glass is divided by Abbe number into crown glass and flint glass, each subdivided by refractive index; it is mostly used as lenses, prisms and mirrors for telescopes, microscopes and cameras. Anti-radiation glass includes high-lead glass that blocks gamma and X-rays and calcium-borate glass that absorbs slow and...

Classification of new functional ceramic materials

Classification of new functional ceramic materials New functional ceramic materials are dielectric materials with electrical, magnetic, optical, acoustic, thermal, mechanical, chemical or biological functions. There are many kinds of functional ceramic materials with a wide range of uses, mainly including new ceramic materials with different functions such as ferroelectric, piezoelectric, dielectric, pyroelectric, semiconductor, electro-optic and magnetic. Key Takeaways New functional ceramic materials are dielectric materials with electrical, magnetic, optical, acoustic, thermal, mechanical, chemical or biological functions, including ferroelectric, piezoelectric, dielectric, pyroelectric, semiconductor,...
