How to solve the problem of fragile ceramic parts?

Image
Source: https://www.innovacera.com/news/fragile-ceramic-parts.html As we all know, advanced ceramics are special material with a variety of physical properties. They as structural ceramics and functional ceramics apply in machinery, electronics, chemical industry, metallurgy, energy, aerospace and many other fields. But ceramics have an obvious disadvantage-fragility. The main reason is that the toughness of most ceramics is low, which leads to an increase in brittleness. There is a ceramic - zirconia with high toughness. It is formed by thousands of unit cells to form crystals. It then undergoes high-temperature phase transformation to form microcrystalline ceramics so that the ceramics have excellent wear resistance and drop resistance and high-temperature resistance. ZrO2 ceramic products are white. When the ceramic contains other impurities, the ceramic is grey or yellow. Commonly used moulding processes are injection and dry press. They are usually made into crucibles, mobile phon...

Silicon carbide ceramics have been widely used in high-temperature bearings, bulletproof plates, nozzles, and high-temperature corrosion resistance. Parts and electronic equipment parts in high temperature and high-frequency range. The advantages of silicon carbide are as follows: Good thermal conductivity. Not affected by corrosion; Will not melt at high temperature, no pollution to the liquid metal; Can be used to melt alloys rich in sodium and strontium; The appearance of the product will not stick to the slag, which is very simple to protect; The product has high hardness and is difficult to break; Cost-effective.

It is divided into two types: tubular ceramic membrane and flat ceramic membrane. The ceramic membrane has high separation efficiency, good chemical stability, acid and alkali resistance, organic solvent resistance, bacteria resistance, high-temperature resistance, pollution resistance, high mechanical strength, good regeneration performance, simple separation process, low energy consumption, and long service life. Application fields: Food industry Plant (medicine) deep processing Biomedicine Fermentation Fine chemicals Characteristics of ceramic membrane materials: A coating film is required on the surface of the ceramic. The coating film is to apply a filter layer. The material used depends on the pore size,100 nm is 99.995% alpha-alumina, 50-30 nm is 99.99% zirconia, and 10 nm is...

How to use ceramic cavity reflectors for Nd:YAG lasers?

Image
Source: https://www.innovacera.com/news/ceramic-cavity-reflectors.html Tags: Ceramic Cavity Reflector, Nd:YAG Lasers The ceramic reflectors used in Nd:YAG lasers are with reflection 97% at wavelength 600-1000nm and 95% reflection at wavelength 400-1200nm. Today let’s talk about the cautions when you use the ceramic reflectors. Do not put high pressure on it during transportation. When the size is not suitable for the pump chamber, don’t put the ceramic reflectors into the chamber by force. Half glazing ceramic reflectors must be sealed with the chamber in order to avoid cooling liquid’s indrawing. Or the reflection may go down quickly. Do not scratch the reflector during assembly and maintenance, or the reflection will go down quickly. Please choose the correct cooling system line & material of equipment in short-wave(eg.755nm) high-temperature system, or the metallic oxide which is dissociated from them will pollute the ceramic reflectors.

The Difference Between HTCC and LTCC

Source: https://www.innovacera.com/news/htcc-and-ltcc.html What is HTCC? It means high-temperature co-fired ceramics which is using alumina, AlN and other ceramic material to be sintering with conductor materials (Mo, W, Mo, Mn) under high temperature of 1600°C.  This is first designed by RCA company by the end of the 1950s. Due to the high temperature, it can not use low melting point metal materials like gold, silver and copper, but Mo, W, Mo, Mn.  This material is low conductivity so it will lead to signal delay. So it is not suitable to make high speed or high frequency micro-assemble...
