Industrial ceramic materials

The military use of industrial ceramic materials has been a major part of the United States advanced materials programme. From glass-ceramic armoured cockpits to Patriot missiles and Apache helicopters, ceramics are used in a wide range of military equipment. Lightweight ceramics are also used extensively in modern fighter aircraft. Ceramic armour is often fitted to the seats, sides and floor of the cabin to protect the occupants of the aircraft from ground
Attack. Ceramics are also used in many military radar communication systems. The radar in the Patriot missile system is composed of ceramic components. In the case of structural ceramics, cutting tools last dozens of times longer than typical metal tools. For example, titanium carbide-nitride based carbide and single crystal diamond are the best tools for precision machining of non-ferrous metals, ceramics, glass, graphite and other materials

With the increased demand for these materials in the energy and transport, automotive, aerospace, electronics, military and other sectors, the application of high-performance ceramic cutting tools will be more widespread. Advanced structural ceramics have more high strength, high temperature resistance, wear resistance, corrosion resistance, small specific gravity, good chemical stability and many other excellent properties. Compared with metal and polymer materials, its key shortcomings are brittle and not resistant to impact. Therefore, the scope and speed of the application of advanced structural ceramic materials, mainly depends on two aspects of work, one is to solve the problem of brittleness of ceramics, and the second is the economy of the production process. In particular, the performance of ceramics for the raw material particle size, purity, microstructure after firing, as well as process conditions are very sensitive, thus determining the research and development of new ceramic materials and production process improvement must be synchronised, the two are inseparable.

In the oil industry, the oil field, some drilling equipment parts, lifting equipment parts, pumps, ball valves, pipe joints, various pipelines and many other corrosion-resistant, abrasion-resistant parts can be considered to replace the metal with ceramics, to extend the service life and improve the recovery rate. In addition, foam ceramics, superplastic ceramics, plastic composite ceramics, ceramic powder lubricants and a variety of fine ceramic materials and components in the petroleum industry also has a wide range of uses.

In addition to the development of high-temperature structural ceramic materials, surface thin film ceramic materials are constantly expanding the scope of application, the development prospects are very optimistic. With miniaturisation, multilayer, thin film, multifunctional tendency. In addition to the application of machinery, chemical industry, but also successfully produced metal crafts covered with ceramic film. Such as an elastic ceramic material that can be stretched and folded at will was recently introduced in Japan, and its length after stretching can be increased by more than 10 times than the original. With this method of sintered silicon nitride ceramics, can be efficient, economical manufacturing of a variety of complex shapes of products, such as cutting tools, sealing rings, bearings, nozzles and a variety of high-temperature, wear-resistant, corrosion-resistant products, etc.. Functional ceramics are also now being used in an increasingly wide range of applications. For example, superconducting ceramics can make the current without impedance, no heat loss of flow, so that the magnetic levitation train will be able to travel at speeds of 200 to 300 kilometres per hour, thus having a broad prospect. Desk-sized operators in supercomputers will run thousands of times faster than current computers. Other applications for functional ceramics include a variety of sensors, actuators, optoelectronic materials, semiconductors and multilayer capacitors. Ceramic coatings are also often used to protect or lubricate many materials, such as metals.

These industrial ceramic coatings are effective in preventing power failures in computers and other electronic devices, malfunctions in components, and excessive wear and tear. In the processing of high-performance ceramic materials, laser processing technology has become popular in recent years. Laser processing of industrial ceramic materials can reduce processing costs by up to 50 per cent. This technology is particularly suitable for certain ceramic parts that are produced in small batches and sizes without the use of moulds, taking into account the cost of mould making. The ceramic material is first heated with a laser to 1000°C to soften it. The intensity of the laser and the heating area are precisely controlled and the heating is limited to a small part of the material. The hot ceramic material is then transferred to a lathe made of super-hard boride material for machining. A major advantage of laser processing is that a single cut is all that is needed to achieve the complex geometry of the part, whereas conventional methods require several lathes to shape the material.

Ceramic engraving and milling machine is a high-technology, high-precision CNC machine tools. Ceramic engraving and milling machine can process a variety of industrial ceramic materials, alumina ceramics, zirconia ceramics, beryllium oxide ceramics, aluminium nitride ceramics, silicon nitride ceramics, etc., used to produce a variety of drawings of the requirements of the shaped parts and structural components, for industrial ceramic materials, punching, slotting and threading microporous processing can be used to ceramic engraving and milling machine to carry out rapid processing. Ceramics special engraving and milling machine tool operation is stable and reliable, processing quality and high precision, low failure rate, low production costs, high production efficiency, easy and convenient to operate and safe all the parts are all processed through high-precision grinding, high precision and durability. We manufacture CNC machine tools have more than ten years of professional technology has developed and produced a special engraving and milling machine for processing industrial ceramics, we are guided by customer demand, led by technological innovation, to solve customer problems, solutions. For the processing of industrial ceramics difficult to design a set of efficient and fast “programming-free” control system, greatly improving production efficiency.
