Technical ceramics are based on the manufacture of technically sophisticated ceramic materials that have improved mechanical, thermal, electrical, chemical, and wear-resistant properties compared with other materials. Technical ceramics are produced using purified inorganic and non-metallic substances with extreme attention paid to the precision of the manufacturing process. This degree of control enables manufacturers to achieve consistent results in the manufacturing process and the resulting product. Oxides and non-oxides (e.g., alumina, zirconia, silicon carbide, silicon nitride, aluminum nitride, boron carbide, and titanates) comprise the two categories used as technical ceramic materials. Technical ceramics are useful in a combination of applications, from harsh environments to extremely high-performance applications to those requiring high strength. The technical ceramics market caters to different end-use industries, such as electronics/semi-conductors, automotive, aerospace/defense, medical devices, industrial equipment, energy, chemical processing, and telecommunications. In these industries, technical ceramics are used in components such as substrates, insulators, seals, bearings, cutting tools, wear parts, implant components, and thermal management systems.
