Whether you need uniform heating, efficient pouring, or precise material handling, the right crucible can greatly impact your results.Selecting the right crucible involves understanding your specific process requirements.

PBN (Pyrolytic Boron Nitride) crucibles are valued for their purity, thermal shock resistance, and durability. They prevent material contamination, crucial in impurity-sensitive processes, and endure rapid temperature changes without cracking. Their electrical insulation suits non-conductive applications, and their diverse shapes cater to specific needs.

Based on the phase transformation toughening effect of metastable tetragonal zirconia under stress induction, zirconia phase transformation toughening ceramics mainly include Tetragonal Zirconia Polycrystalline (TZP), Partially Stabilized Zirconia (PSZ), and Zirconia Toughened Ceramics (ZTC).

In modern industry, material selection greatly affects equipment performance and lifespan. In the foundry industry, riser tubes, key to low-pressure die-casting machines, significantly influence casting quality and efficiency. Silicon nitride has emerged as the preferred material for riser tubes due to its excellent properties.

Silicon nitride ceramic degassing rotor shafts are advanced industrial materials with exceptional high-temperature strength (up to 1200°C), wear, corrosion, and oxidation resistance. Their superior thermal and chemical stability ensures long-term performance in extreme conditions.

Pad printing technology is widely used in modern industries for surfaces like plastics, metals, glass, and ceramics. With increasing demand for high-quality, durable prints, traditional pad printing rings often fall short. Zirconia pad printing rings provide a superior and durable solution.

On December 23, media outlets such as The Economic Times reported that Silectric Semiconductor, a subsidiary of Zoho Corporation, will establish Karnataka's first semiconductor manufacturing plant in India, dedicated to integrated production of silicon carbide.

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.

Recently, KYOCERA held a groundbreaking ceremony for its fine ceramics factory for medical implants, located in Waiblingen, near Stuttgart, Germany. This facility will specialize in manufacturing high-quality ceramic heads used in hip prostheses and other implant applications. The project is expected to be completed by September next year.

Recently, Alpha HPA, an Australian company, has commenced construction on the second phase of the world’s largest single-location ultra-high-purity alumina refinery.

According to data from QY Research, the global market size for silicon carbide (SiC) ceramics used in semiconductors was $1.111 billion in 2023. Driven by the rigid demand from downstream industries, it is projected that the silicon carbide ceramics market will grow to $1.578 billion by 2030, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.09% from 2024 to 2030.

A research team at Ritsumeikan University in Japan has developed a new Electrochemical Mechanical Polishing (ECMP) technology, achieving a material removal rate of approximately 15 μm/h, significantly enhancing SiC polishing.
