High-Performance Ceramics for Extreme Demands

As a leading manufacturer of advanced ceramics, Schunk offers a wide range of high-performance materials precisely tailored to your application needs. Our four core ceramic families – silicon carbide, boron carbide, aluminum oxide and zirconium oxide – cover an exceptional range of properties: from extreme hardness and thermal resistance to chemical durability, mechanical strength and electrical insulation.

Silicon carbide is ideal for components subject to thermal and mechanical stress. Boron carbide combines outstanding hardness with low weight and is especially valued in ballistic protection. Aluminum oxide serves as a robust all-rounder for demanding electrical and chemical environments. Zirconium oxide stands out with exceptional toughness and resistance to thermal cycling, making it a top choice for high-temperature and melting applications.
