Mechanical Engineering

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.

Metrology sector of Schunk Technical Ceramics represented by a measuring machine

Metrology

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.

Aerospace & Defence represented by riot police equipped with protective gear & vests

Ballistic Protection

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.

Ceramic industry represented by kiln car structure for porcelain firing made of technical ceramics

Ceramic Industry

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.

Burner technology represented by flaming ceramic burner in use in a furnace

Burner Technology

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.

Metallurgy represented by ceramic crucible in use in a metal melting process

Metallurgy

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.

Chemical & process engineering represented by large-scale industrial chemical plant

Chemical & Process Technology

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.

 Surface technology represented by the lightning of a plasma discharge or corona discharge

Surface Treatment

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.

Technical ceramics pick up where other materials leave off

Temperature-resistant, media-resistant, abrasion-resistant, extremely hard and bulletproof – technical ceramics from Schunk Ingenieurkeramik combine valuable characteristics like no other material. This allows us to offer solutions that set new standards for industrial applications. The internationally unique IntrinSiC® is our innovative production solution that allows components to be fabricated from silicon carbide by 3-D printing that were previously impossible due to their complexity and size. Together with our customers, we develop tailored, cutting-edge products for furnaces and plants, tribological systems such as pumps and compressors, and laboratory ceramics and ballistics protection.
