Technical ceramics possess the potential for many applications, and they have been used in seismic observation in the deep sea, space development and exploration, supercomputers, as well as research and development of new energy sources for the future.

Where all metals and polymers will start to compromise their properties, technical ceramics will continue to function with consistent performance and reliability. This property makes ceramics appropriate for use in very high temperature applications like furnaces, jet engines, brake systems, and cutting tools.

Advanced technical ceramics such as ZrO2, Al2O3, SiC and Si3N4 are becoming increasingly important materials of choice in industrial applications such as metal forming, part machining and as construction materials in mechanical components.

Other Applications of Technical Ceramics Other applications include pump plungers, liners, shafts, mechanical seals, valve seats, spray nozzles, milling media, knives, lift pins, blades, semiconductor rings, dies, forming tools, bushings, and more.

Technical ceramics are used to radiate heat. The heat radiation rate is linked to the fourth power of the surface temperature, meaning it becomes the principal heat transfer mechanism at temperatures higher than 1000 degrees Kelvin.

Engineering ceramics, such as silicon nitride, silicon carbide, and a large number of oxides, are used in industries ranging from aerospace to automotive and biomedical to electronics. These materials are used because they possess a range of properties that are attractive for particular applications.
