High Wear Resistant Ceramics

If your production is affected by wear problems and you have trouble finding an effective solution, it may be time for you to replace steel, plastic, copper, or other materials in your high wear applications by high wear resistant ceramics to improve significantly your productivity and, eventually, your profit.

The hardness of material is directly related to its wear resistance.

New ceramic materials can be characterized by extreme hardness and wear resistance, for example, the hardness of alumina ceramics is nearly three times that of stainless steel, while silicon carbide is more than four times harder than it. That is only one of numerous properties that makes high performance ceramics necessary for modern technology.

Umicore stocks and distributes a large range of wear resistant ceramic products which could satisfy almost all your production needs. We are dedicated not only to ceramic innovation but also to providing latest technology and excellent customer services aiming at helping our clients find the best technical solution to their production dilemmas.
