Pioneering Solutions from High-Performance Ceramics

+

The objective is to ensure mobility through

environmentally friendly, sustainable and yet

economically efficient technologies. As a

partner of the international automotive industry,

CeramTec actively drives eMobility developments

and uses its comprehensive automotive

competence in the field of technical ceramics to

offer innovative solutions for all types of drive

concepts – from optimising combustion engines

and hybridisation, to pure electromobility and

providing the required infrastructure. Innovations

need creative minds, new thinking and extremely

powerful, exceptional materials: high-performance

ceramics from CeramTec. Pointing the way to

the future.

High-performance ceramics: the material for

innovative eMobility solutions

HIGH-PERFORMANCE CERAMICS*:

POWERFUL FOR EMOBILITY

• Electrical insulation

• High dielectric strength

• Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC)

• Freedom from partial discharge

• High thermal conductivity

• Corrosion resistance

• Thermal insulation

• High heat resistance

• Low friction

• Chemical resistance

• Impact resistance

• Wear resistance

• Low weight

• UV resistance

• Resistance to temperature shock

• Transparency

The development towards electrification and eMobility pre-

sents growing challenges for automotive manufacturers,

suppliers, energy producers, infrastructure partners and the

manufacturing industry. The further development of alter-

native drive technologies and new systems for production,

storage, transmission and distribution of energy has to be

pursued at full speed. The electrical infrastructure for mobile

and stationary applications has to be created. These complex

tasks require materials which meet extreme requirements.

Innovative high-performance ceramics from CeramTec provide

a crucial contribution to progress:

• Together with customers, we develop technical ceramics

solutions which have unique functionalities and a

customised characteristics profile to allow visionary

concepts.

• They are superior where conventional materials such as

metal and plastic reach their limits.

• They support more environmental protection, economic

efficiency, safety, durability and user comfort.

• They provide more efficiency and productivity in

manufacturing processes.

• They are hard to replace in many applications, such as

electrified transport vehicles, charging stations, energy

generation, energy storage and energy distribution.

• Solutions from CeramTec cover the entire range of

eMobility applications: from cars, eBikes, Segways and

eMotorcycles to aeroplanes and other electrically driven

mobility solutions – on land, on water and in the air.

Fields of application for high-performance ceramics

Technical ceramics from CeramTec are used in numerous

areas of application: In sensor systems, our sensor compo-

nents capture and process a variety of values with high pre-

cision. In power electronics, ceramic high-performance

materials and solutions meet a variety of requirements with

a high level of reliability, even under immense demands. For

temperature management, high-performance ceramics from

CeramTec ensure optimum thermal dissipation and insula-

tion. For fluid and gas regulation, ceramic components from

CeramTec help to ensure a high level of reliability. Our tech-

nical ceramics play a key role wherever electrical insulation is

required. In all types of bearings, our solutions play out their

strengths in the long term. Our materials exhibit immense

resistance in the handling of aggressive media. Whether

innovative design solutions, lightweight design concepts and

miniaturisation, material reinforcement, applications in

sound management or efficient production processes – the

unique range of properties of high-performance ceramics

from CeramTec offers crucial added value and benefits in all

these areas.
