Challenges & Ceramic Solution Selection
A problem-oriented guide for selecting ceramic materials and component structures according to the operating conditions, reliability targets and application requirements.
| Customer Challenge | Recommended Ceramic Solution |
|---|---|
| Short metal-part lifetime | Replace high-wear contact areas with zirconia or silicon nitride. |
| Fiber wear or snagging | Use polished alumina or zirconia textile ceramics. |
| High-speed friction heat | Evaluate silicon nitride or precision-polished ceramic structures. |
| Low particle generation required | Select dense, low-wear ceramics with high surface quality. |
Frequently Asked Questions
Are wear-resistant ceramics always better than metals?
Often in friction, abrasive and clean-contact applications, but impact and assembly must be reviewed.
How to choose zirconia or alumina?
Zirconia has higher toughness; alumina offers high hardness and stable cost.
Is surface roughness important?
Yes. Guides, sliding parts and sealing surfaces often require precision polishing.
Can parts be made to drawing?
Yes. Holes, grooves, chamfers, outer diameters and precision dimensions can be customized.
