What’s the breakthrough on technology of Ceramic to Metal

By -



The Molybdenum/Manganese metallization developed the technology on Ceramic-to-metal brazed assembly, it provides high mechanical strength and good electrical insulation. In the very beginning, it was used in vacuum electronic devices, gradually applied to semiconductors, integrated circuits, electric light sources, high-energy physics, aerospace, chemical industry, metallurgy, instrumentation and machinery manufacturing, and other industrial fields.

 

So how to choose a material becomes more and more critical for good vacuum brazing. Here we’re mainly discussing about 3 different types of materials that will be used for ceramic-to-metal.

  1. Ceramic
  • Al2O3
  • BeO
  • BN
  • AlN
  1. Metals
  • Kovar alloy
  • OFC
  • Stainless steel
  • Mild steel
  1. Solder
  • Ag
  • Ag-Cu
  • Cu
  • AU-Cu
  • Au-Ni

 

The Ceramic materials are required to be high-temperature stabilized and good thermal expansion coefficient, INNOVACERA applies mostly Al2O3. Since ceramics will not be directly wetted, which impedes the adherence of molten metal layers and adhesives, the different coefficients of thermal expansion (CTE) between Ceramic and Metal. Breakthrough on such difficulties is with a soldering or brazing process.

 

Metal layer is applied on ceramic components via Mo/Mn metallization and Plating or Active brazing, after that, the ceramic and metal components are joined by the melting and subsequent solidification of a filler metal-Solder, with different solders for different applications in different working temperatures.

What are the advantages of Ceramic-to-Metal?

Advanced ceramic materials have the excellent properties of high melting point, high-temperature resistance, corrosion resistance, abrasion resistance, and other special properties, but also have radiation resistance, high-frequency resistance, high voltage resistance, insulation, and other excellent electrical properties, with rapid development of science and technology, the application of the field of engineering structures often need to combine advanced ceramic materials with metal materials, so that the advantages of the two materials complement each other, giving the best performance of ceramics. By realizing the combination of ceramic and metal brazing, improves the performance of its welded joints, and can make it work in higher temperatures and harsh environments, to achieve a wider range of application prospects!

What makes the ceramic heating element the core part of a Vaporizer?

Source: https://www.innovacera.com/news/ceramic-heater-coil-for-vaporizer.html Not every dry herb vaporizers are the same! Especially those used ceramic heating element. The ceramic heating element is a safety and healthiest option for dry herb vaporizers, so every vaper is preferred to choose those vaporizers that carry ceramic heating element. The proponents believe that the heating element is the core of the vaporizer and primarily dictates the experience of the taste. Let's more specific, when a vaper burns tobacco, marijuana, or hemp during traditional smoking to release the active component, whatever it's nicotine, CBD, or THC, they inhale the smoke. We all know that's not good for health. Rather than burning, Vaporizer heats the liquid, wax or even dry herb to release a vapour, and a vaper inhales the vapour without any damage to their lungs or throat. And why the ceramic heating element is becoming the core part of the vaporizer? It's mainly because: 1. Ceramic ...
