1. Machinery Manufacturing
Wear-resistant Parts: Alumina ceramic liners are used in mining pipelines, extending their lifespan by more than 5 times compared to steel.
Precision Bearings: Silicon nitride ceramic bearings reduce friction loss in high-speed machine tools, achieving speeds up to twice that of metal bearings.
2. Electronics & Semiconductors
Substrates and Packaging: Alumina nitride substrates are used for heat dissipation in 5G communication modules, while alumina ceramics serve as circuit board support for chips.
Piezoelectric Ceramics: Lead zirconate titanate (PZT) is used in sensors and ultrasonic transducers.
3. Chemicals & Energy
Corrosion-resistant Equipment: Silicon carbide reactor linings withstand hydrofluoric acid corrosion.
New Energy: Yttrium-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) electrolytes in solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs).
4. Aerospace
Thermal Protection Systems: Silicon carbide fiber-reinforced ceramics are used in rocket engine nozzles, withstanding high-temperature exhaust gases up to 3000°C.
Turbine Blades: Silicon nitride ceramic blades improve the efficiency of aero-engines.
5. Medical Field
Bioceramics: Hydroxyapatite (HA) is used in artificial bones, and zirconia ceramics are used in dental crowns and joint prostheses, combining biocompatibility and wear resistance.
