 KYOCERA ENGINEERING CERAMICS
Today, at the dawn of the 21st century,
materials are continually being developed
and improved, blending a wide spectrum of
technologies. The most exciting evolution of all
materials, however, is occurring in engineering
ceramics.
In Kyocera’s advanced manufacturing of fine
ceramics, it is possible to bring forth ceramics
maximum performance.
Kyocera’s fine ceramic products are widely
used in industrial machines and electronic
equipment and devices. The superior electrical
characteristics of fine ceramics are utilized in
a variety of circuit boards and electronic parts.
Their wear and corrosion resistance is ben-
eficial in pumps, nozzles and valve parts, and
their high heat and thermal shock resistance
is useful in ceramic engine parts.
Based on its advanced ceramics technology,
Kyocera put into practical use its ultra-preci-
sion processing technology in the manufac-
turing of OA equipment parts and fiber optic
connectors where high precision is required.
The applications of fine ceramics continue to
expand, from single to multiconponent prod-
ucts such as air slides and X-Y tables.
Kyocera, with its highly sophisticated tech-
nology and expanding capacity, is determined
to disseminate fine ceramics into every corner
of industry. It is dedicated to enhancing human
productivity, cultivating the future of tomor-
row’s technological society.

TYPES OF CERAMICS

With sintered alumina as a base, many other types of ceramic materials have been developed.
These fine ceramics are classified according to their use, specifically functional materials
(electroceramics) and structural materials (engineering ceramics). As the pioneer in the fine ceramics
materials revolution, Kyocera continually develops and provides the most advanced ceramics.

■ALUMINA CERAMICS (Al2O3) ■CERMET (TiC, TiN)

Alumina is the most widely used type of ceramic. Its By the addition of metal components such as cobalt,

tance and high strength. It is widely used for industrial
machine parts. ■SILICON CARBIDE CERAMIC (SiC)
Silicon carbide retains its strength at elevated tem-
peratures as high as 1400℃. It has the highest corrosion
resistance of all fine ceramic materials. Applications
include mechanical seals and
pump parts.

■SILICON NITRIDE CERAMICS (Si3N4)

Silicon nitride exceeds other ceramics in thermal
shock resistance. Its strength does not deteriorate at ele-
vated temperatures, hence it ■ZIRCONIA CERAMICS (ZrO2)

pump parts.
Mullite has a low thermal expansion coefficient and
is used in parts requiring heat and thermal shock resis-
tance, such as burner nozzles and tiles.
■CORDIERITE CERAMICS (2MgO, 2Al2O3, 5SiO2)

■TITANIA CERAMICS Cordierite features a very low thermal expansion coef-

ficient.
Titania excels in surface smoothness and wear resis-
tance. By the addition of CaO or BaO titania, the materi-
als conductivity allows it to be used in static free appli-
cations such as guides and sliders.

As computers increase in memory capacity, floppy and
hard disk drives use ceramic sliders that possess superior
characteristics and high precision.
With the size reduction and sophistication of OA equip-
ment, ceramic shafts, lighter in weight and with increased
wear resistance and precision, are quickly replacing metal
shafts.

Semiconductor processing machine jigs

Superior in chemical, heat and wear resistance, ceramics
are used in semiconductor processing machines such as
CVD equipment, etching machines and light exposers, to
hold, transport and heat-treat wafers.

Measuring instrument parts

Ceramics are widely used in measuring instruments for
their structual and non-corrosive properties. Their hardness
prevents gouging, bulging and burring along with consis-
tent precision measurements.

Wire drawing machine parts

To benefit from ceramics wear resistance and light
weight, wire drawing machine parts use ceramics in cap-
stan rollers and wire guide rollers.

Thread guides
Ceramic is used in guide parts for thread processing and
oiling nozzles, rollers and twining parts because of its high
wear resistance, very low susceptibility to damage by high-
speed running of thread, and low friction coefficient.

 WEAR AND HEAT RESISTANT PARTS

Cutters
Of all ceramic materials, zirconia exceeds in strength,
toughness and wear resistance, and is used in industrial
cutters and slitters to process fiber, paper, film and similar
materials. Cermet, which can be brazed and electric charge-
processed, is used in cutters and wear resistant precision
parts, in combination with metal.

Physiochemical equipment parts

Superior chemical and heat resistance with no outgasing
at high temperatures allow high purity alumina ceramics to
be used in analytical equipment.

Ceramic heaters
Alumina heaters, are manufactured by printing resistors
on alumina sheets, then laminating and sintering them
into one piece. Silicon nitride heaters are manufactured
by printing resistors on silicon nitride or embedding them
therein. Ceramic heaters find use in a wide range of indus-
trial fields.

Living and household appliances

Less subject to rust and more wear resistant than
conventional metal, ceramics are used for knives, golf and
baseball spikes, clock casings and many other sport and
recreational appliances.
