high-performance ceramic tiles

High-performance ceramic tiles are thin, flat moulded parts made of technical or high-performance ceramics. They are used because of their special mechanical, thermal and chemical resistance. Typical materials are aluminium oxide, zirconium oxide, silicon nitride or silicon carbide. They are characterised by high hardness, wear and corrosion resistance, and thermal shock resistance. On the one hand, such tiles serve as independent functional components, for example as substrates, sealing or insulating discs. On the other hand, they are used for reinforcement in composite systems, for example in ceramic-reinforced plastics. There they improve the barrier properties and mechanical stability. By selecting the geometry, microstructure and material, properties such as bending strength, fracture toughness, electrical insulation or thermal conductivity can be adjusted within narrow limits.

On the left, you can see a special application. Here, ceramic elements have been bonded to mixing arms. This increases wear resistance by a factor of 20.
