Production Technology-High Temperature Co Fired Ceramics (HTCC)

HTCC is an acronym for High-temperature co-fired ceramics; HTCC ceramic wood pellet stove is made up of high melting point metal heating material such as tungsten, molybdenum or molybdenum – manganese and 92-96% alumina ceramic substrates. The metal heating resistance slurry is printed onto the tape casting ceramic green body according to the design requirement, several layers of ceramic green body are then laminated together and is fired at 1500 ~ 1600 ℃ high temperature, with the aid of 4-8% sintering additive, to form the alumina ceramic heating element.

They are deployed in the following areas:
1. Heating applications above 750°C, in which standard heating cartridges would have long since failed.
2. Very precise, rapid heating due to the extremely low thermal mass .
3. Efficient hot gas generation through the extremely large heat transfer surface area. Our heater portfolio covers a broad performance spectrum (depending on the desired
purpose) and various patented structural forms. In addition to this the wood pellet burner can be designed on an individual customer basis and be equipped with a complete electrical connection technology.

Alumina Ceramic Pellet Stove Igniter 120V 230V

A pellet stove igniter is a very important component in pellet stoves, which are widely used for heating  pellet burners, pellet stove, pellet boiler, gas heating systems and so on.Generally, pellet igniter is responsible for initiating the combustion process by igniting the wood pellets.

Different voltages are used in different power systems. Typically, you can find pellet stove igniters designed for either 120V or 230V power systems. The voltage requirement should be specified by the manufacturer for the particular igniter model.

Alumina Ceramic Heater

A 120V pellet stove igniter is designed to operate with a standard 120-volt electrical supply commonly found in North America. On the other hand, a 230V pellet stove igniter is designed for use with a 230-volt electrical supply, which is more commonly used in European countries and other parts of the world.

It is essential to match the voltage requirement of the pellet boiler igniter with the power supply available in your specific location. Using an igniter with the incorrect voltage can lead to improper functioning or potential damage to the igniter and the stove.

When purchasing a wood pellet stove, make sure that you select the correct voltage option based on your electrical system’s specifications and the requirements specified by the stove manufacturer. It’s always recommended to consult the stove manufacturer’s documentation or contact their customer support for guidance on the appropriate igniter voltage for your specific pellet stove model.

What Makes BeO Outstanding for Electronic Packaging

In electronic packaging for RF and microwave, people are always looking for a very good insulation material with excellent properties that can be withstand the extreme strict environmental conditions in Military and aerospace applications.

Beryllia ceramic Rod

Beryllia ceramic Rod

Among them, BeO is standing out due to its high thermal conductivity and excellent electrical properties. The thermal conductivity of Beryllium oxide is up to 285 W/mk, the second ceramic material next to BeO is AlN, which is 170 W/mk, and compare to most common Al2O3 material, its thermal conductivity is only 25-30 W/mk. Therefore, BeO Ceramic become the priority materials for RF Power Transistor Packages in Thermal management and the applications that require excellent electrical isolation

Thick Flim Metalized Beryllium Oxide

Thick Flim Metalized Beryllium Oxide

As an oxide ceramic, Beryllium oxide is very stable in oxygen/moisture containing environments. The adhesion of the ceramic-to-metal joints is high and reliable. Typically, the metallization process is by Tungsten/manganese (W/Mn) coating, then plating Nickel (Ni), it can work in 800℃ at Reducing atmosphere without Nickel bubbling. BeO metallization is widely used in Microwave power circuits and Integrated Circuits (ICs).

 

Some misunderstandings on BeO materials is that it’s toxic, actually, only the powder of Beryllium oxide is toxic, the BeO ceramic is provided as finished product without toxic. The production workshop is strictly controlled to protect the workers’ life and safety, therefore, there is no need to worry about the health problem.

 


DBC Ceramic Substrate Applied to IGBT

DBC ceramic substrate has been gaining attention in the field of power electronics for its unique advantages. It is an ideal material for high-power modules such as insulated gate bipolar transistors (IGBTs) due to its excellent thermal conductivity and electrical insulation properties.

IGBTs are widely used in various applications including electric vehicles, renewable energy, and industrial automation. They are capable of handling high voltage and current levels, making them an essential component in power electronics. However, the high power density of IGBTs results in significant heat generation, which can cause performance degradation and reliability issues.

DBC Al2o3 Substrate offer a solution to these problems by providing high thermal conductivity and excellent electrical insulation. Its thermal conductivity is up to five times higher than that of traditional substrates. This means that DBC ceramic substrates can effectively dissipate heat generated by IGBTs, reducing their operating temperature and improving their performance and reliability.

Moreover, DBC DPC substrate‘s excellent electrical insulation properties help to minimize electrical interference and improve the overall safety of the system. This is particularly important in high-power applications where even a small electrical interference can cause significant damage.
