Composite Boron Nitride Ceramic Products


High-temperature vacuum furnaces require the materials to provide reliable thermal properties, electrical insulation, contamination-free conditions, and dimensional stability under extreme conditions. Innovacera’s Hot-Pressed Boron Nitride (hBN) Components are designed for such extreme environments, which can provide stable performance in high-temperature, vacuum, and inert-gas applications where other materials lose stability. At the same time, our precision-machined Boron Nitride Ceramics components can minimize failures and furnace downtime, maintaining stable production even under rapid heating and cooling cycles. 

Here are Innovacera’s BN Grades: 

Pure Boron Nitride: Commonly used for insulators and vacuum furnace components due to their exceptional thermal and chemical stability, electrical insulation properties, and ability to perform in extreme environments. Standardized Grades: UHB and HB

Boron Nitride Composites: By combining boron nitride with specific ceramics like aluminum nitride or zirconia, the composite materials with excellent electrical insulation properties and also demonstrate improved durability and extended service life in contamination-sensitive applications. Standardized Grades: Specific grades like BMS, BMA, BSC, BMZ, BAN, and BSN. 

Here are some Innovacera’s Key Components for High Temperature Vacuum Furnaces: 

  1. Crucibles and Containers: Used for melting metals and high-purity materials due to their non-wetting characteristics, and will not contaminate the molten material. For example, aluminum, copper, zinc, glass, etc.
  2. Insulation and Fixtures: High-temperature insulators, standoff insulators, and electrical insulating supports for furnace elements.
  3. PVD/CVD Processing: Target frames, shields, and liners in vacuum coating systems.
  4. Furnace Parts: Setter, rods, and tubes that require high structural stability and thermal shock resistance.

 

Why Hot-Pressed Boron Nitride Components were used for High-Temperature Vacuum Furnaces?

  • High-Temperature Stability: Stable performance at temperatures above 1800°C in vacuum, inert, or reducing atmospheres.
  • Thermal Shock Resistance: A lower coefficient of thermal expansion that can withstand rapid thermal cycling without cracking or deformation.
  • High resistivity and dielectric strength: it provides electrical insulation at high temperatures.
  • High Purity and Chemical Inertness: It supports clean and contamination-free conditions. So it is an ideal material for supporting and isolating heating elements such as metal, battery, and ceramic parts.
  • Excellent Machinability and Design Flexibility: Innovacera can be precision-machined into complex, high-precision shapes, and hBN enables maximum design freedom.

Ceramic Reflectors

Source: https://www.innovacera.com/news/ceramic-reflectors.html Our ceramic reflectors work particularly well in Ruby and Nd:YAG laser pumping chambers and can be a highly cost effective alternative to metal coated reflectors. They are also extensively used as reflectors in housings for high intensity lamps. Ceramic reflectors can be glazed both inside the cavity and the out surface using a highly reflective glaze that seals the ceramic against ingress of cooling fluids that may alter the refractive index, introduce impurities and reduce reflectance and efficiencies. Glaze can also act as filters and our yellow glazed reflectors have been used successfully in certain applications. The visible yellow colour is complementary to the spectral colours violet and indigo and effectively absorbs these wavelengths up to around 450 nm. Typical applications Ceramic Reflectors For Beauty and IPL Applications Ceramic Reflectors For Diode-pumped Solid-state Lasers Ceramic Reflectors For Lamp-pumped...

Boron Nitride Ceramic Insulator For High Temperature Furnace

  High temperature furnace designs contain heating elements made of carbon, tungsten or molybdenum. When the operating temperature of the high temperature furnace is significantly higher than 1500 ° C, the elements are electrical insulated from the furnace sides using aluminum oxide ceramics.   With the development of technology, more and more companies need high temperature electrical furnaces with shorter production cycles and faster heating and cooling speeds. These oxide ceramic insulation parts are easily subject to failure of components due to high pressure, which increases the downtime of the furnace.   Compared with traditional aluminum oxide materials, the working life of ceramic components made of hexagonal  boron nitride (BN)  is much longer. For thermal processes at extremely high temperatures and vacuum or inert conditions,  boron nitride ceramics  are often the only feasible solution. Boron nitride ceramic material max using temperature i...

  The laser tubes usually used in CO2 laser machines are categorized into DC glass、RF metal tubes and ceramic tubes. But Metal-sealed lasers are the most proven technology on the market for high-performance CO2 lasers. Metal laser tubes are sealed metal chambers made of metal and ceramic. Metal is typically stainless steel or other durable alloys and ceramics are usually alumina; they are brazed to form a feedthrough of up to 1.0 x 10 -10 atm-cc/sec. The tube is filled with a specific mixture of gases in the ratio of 1:1:8, typically: Carbon Dioxide (CO2): Nitrogen (N2): Helium (He). The metal and ceramic laser tubes use a technique called “radio frequency” to stimulate the gases to produce the beam. Using RF has advantages over DC voltage, including lower energy consumption, better control of the engraving process, and longer life, resulting in a higher-quality laser beam output over a longer period of time. Metal and ceramic laser sources can be air-cooled or water-cooled, depend...
