Low Thermal Expansion Ceramics

Toto s low thermal expansion ceramics have light weight and low cte to contribute to improvements in overall equipment performance.

Low thermal expansion ceramics. The forming capabilities of kyocera allow for a more efficient processing and light weighting while the material properties of cordierite co720 such as high stiffness and long term dimensional stability serve functional advantages over low thermal. In the video below dr. Fine ceramics also known as advanced ceramics have low coefficients of thermal expansion less than half those of stainless steels. Adceram cs low thermal expansion and heat insulating ceramics adceram cs is light weight and has unique thermal characteristics a low coefficient of thermal expansion low heat conductivity and high thermal shock resistance.

Temperature is a monotonic function of the average molecular kinetic energy of a substance. Due to their low thermal expansion often close to zero las glass ceramic has been widely used for more than 60 years in telescopes mirrors 18 optical precision systems 19 cooktops 20. By utilizing dense cordierite with a low thermal expansion coefficient deformation due to temperature change is suppressed. Extremely low thermal expansion zerodur the extremely low thermal expansion glass ceramic from schott delivers extremely high precision for many challenging high tech applications some of the applications for zerodur include ic interated circuit and fpd flat panel display lithography high precision metrology and astronomy all demanding applications in which geometrical shape and.

Nexcera ultra low thermal expansion ceramics. Low thermal expansion ceramic mirrors highly rigid and extremely thin with reduced weight. Cordierite cordierite is an extremely low thermal expansion ceramic which is ideal for light weight designs of mirrors and telescopes. The coefficient ratio of thermal expansion indicates how much a material expands per 1 2 2 rise in temperature.

Nexcera is an ultra low thermal expansion ceramic with a cordierite base 2mgo 2al 2 o 3 5sio 2 it features zero expansion near room temperature and is stronger and more durable than low thermal expansion glass. When a substance is heated molecules begin to vibrate and move more usually creating more distance between themselves. Expansion values vary depending on the material being heated. Today our low expansion ceramics are used in exhaust gas treatment applications to help reduce harmful emissions from cars and trucks.

Our diffusion bonding makes it possible to mold complex hollow shapes.
