The use of ceramics in high thermal conductivity applications is a growing specialized market. Oxide ceramics are the most common base materials. But the majority of them are limited to 26-30 W/mK which, when compared to the two most common high thermal conductivity...
The increasing use of Aluminum Nitride (AlN) in power electronics, dissipating heat and providing electrical insulation has been an ongoing trend. The performance of Aluminum Nitride far outstrips Alumina in some critical areas. But the added cost of manufacturing AlN...
For most people, ceramics are hard, brittle materials, mostly associated with tiles, bricks, and pottery. These functional and mostly clay-based materials are the most common ceramics in daily use. The more specialist technical ceramics used in extreme environments and demanding […]
