Recently, Kyocera announced the development of a new silicon nitride ceramic material for functional testing of next-generation microchips. This new material boasts enhanced thermal expansion properties and flexural strength, enabling the production of thin silicon nitride plates with extremely narrow spacing between contact probes, which is critical for testing next-generation microchips.

Alumina ceramic rods are rod-shaped products made from high-purity alumina (Al₂O₃) and are widely used across various industrial fields. Due to their exceptional physical, chemical, and mechanical properties, they excel in extreme environments involving high temperatures, high pressures, and chemical corrosion.

Among the various forms of AlN ceramics, mirror-polished AlN ceramic plates stand out due to their remarkable surface smoothness, enhanced flatness, and precise dimensional tolerances. These attributes significantly improve the material’s functional performance, making it a preferred choice for applications that demand high precision, reliability, and aesthetic quality.

In modern industry, plungers serve as critical components for transmission and sealing, making the choice of material essential for equipment performance and longevity. Zirconia ceramic plungers and metal plungers are two common options, each with its advantages and disadvantages.
