Advanced Ceramics

Advanced ceramic products, including boron nitride, lanthanum hexaboride, and zirconia, are highly specialized materials known for their exceptional properties and applications in various industries.

Boron nitride is a versatile advanced ceramic with excellent thermal and electrical insulation properties. It finds applications in high-temperature environments, such as crucibles for molten metal processing, thermocouple protection tubes, and insulators in PVD equipment.

Lanthanum hexaboride, or LaB6, is a refractory ceramic material known for its high electron emission capabilities. It is widely used in electron microscopy as a filament material for electron guns, cathodes in electron beam welding, and electron probe microanalysis systems.

Zirconia, also known as zirconium dioxide (ZrO2), is a ceramic material renowned for its exceptional mechanical strength, wear resistance, and high-temperature stability. Yttria stabilized zirconia (YSZ) is the most regular zirconia you could buy in market. It is extensively used in dental applications, such as dental crowns and implants, due to its biocompatibility and aesthetic appeal. Zirconia is also utilized in YSZtructral ceramic parts, ball bearings, mortar for powder process, crucibles in metallurgy, and thermal barrier coatings for gas turbine engines.
