Schunk Technical Ceramics

The use of technical SiC ceramics in thermal process technology makes a substantial contribution to reducing emissions and exploiting efficiency potential for direct and indirect heating.

Technical ceramics are ideal for applications in aggressive environments and also for extreme operating conditions, such as acids or alkalis in conjunction with abrasive substances.

By using the technical ceramics, SiC, the thermal mass of kiln furniture can be reduced substantially. Due to high strength, low mass, and reliability, SiC offers long service life with reduced life-cycle cost.

Measurement technology is all about maximum precision: Compared to conventional materials, Schunk's proprietary RBSiC ceramics impress with high stiffness, low thermal expansion and high dimensional stability.

In order to meet the demanding requirements of metallurgical processes such as continuous casting or melting of precious metals, our products offer very high temperature capability and chemical resistance against molten metals and are available in a wide range of designs.

The high purity and extreme dielectric strength of our aluminum oxide enable efficient processes in the field of surface technology through very high voltages and a long electrode life.

Large, complex structures made of RB-SiC guarantee machine elements with high thermal conductivity, low thermal expansion, high dimensional stability, and reliability making ceramics indispensable in precision mechanical engineering.

For weight-optimized designs of safety-relevant components, high-performance ceramic materials with tighly-controlled properties are essential: Schunk's reaction-bonded SiC-B4 ceramic blend offers consistency, low density, and high hardness.
