Transparent Ceramic Manufacture

Surmet is the only company.

Transparent ceramic manufacture. But the cost is high due to the processing temperature involved as well as machining costs to cut parts out of single crystal boules. Alon is optically transparent 80 in the near ultraviolet visible and midwave infrared regions of the electromagnetic spectrum. In the popular media and in the star trek community it is commonly referred to as transparent aluminum. A wide variety of transparent ceramic options are available to you such as 7 9.

Transparent ceramics have a higher thermal resistance than glass or resin and they are stronger and harder. 9 the phase assemblage consists of spinel solid solution crystals dispersed throughout a continuous. Technology and manufacturing capabilities. They can be shaped more freely and their productivity is more efficient than single crystal.

However ceramtec can also manufacture individual contours based on customer specifications from this format. It is four times harder than fused silica glass 85 as hard as sapphire and nearly 15 harder than magnesium. Highly transparent ceramic on a series production scale the possibilities are endless with perlucor. Alon or aluminum oxynitride is an amazing and unique transparent advanced ceramic that is polycrystalline made from powder with a cubic spinel crystal structure.

Glass ceramics based on spinel compositions ranging from gahnite znal 2 o 4 toward spinel mgal 2 o 4 can be crystallized using zro 2 and or tio 2 as nucleating agents. Transparent alumina is currently one of the most mature transparent ceramics from a production and application perspective and is available from several manufacturers. At present we manufacture the transparent ceramics yag y 3 a l5 o 12 yttrium aluminum garnet and y 2 o 3 yttrium oxide. These glass ceramics can be made highly transparent with spinel crystals on the order of 10 50 nm in size fig.

Well over 10 000 products components and parts made by the ceramic experts are used in a wide range of applications. The standard tile size is 90 x 90 mm. In addition to optical ceramics surmet is a leader in innovative optical coatings other advanced surface treatment technologies. Ceramtec is a manufacturer and supplier of technical ceramics since 1903 and is active at production sites in europe usa and asia with more than 3 500 employees worldwide.
