CeramTec Group products

CeramTec is at the forefront of developing Metal Matrix Composites (MMC) to enhance the performance of lightweight metal components primarily used in the automotive and industrial sectors. MMCs are engineered by embedding hard ceramic particles into a metal matrix such as aluminum, magnesium, or titanium. This integration leads to components that possess the lightweight properties of metals while significantly boosting their mechanical, thermal, and tribological resilience due to the ceramic reinforcement. CeramTec's approach involves the use of porous ceramic preforms during the casting process, enabling a seamless integration of metal and ceramic phases. With tailored ceramic contents and adjustable grain and pore sizes, CeramTec can cater to various industry needs. Silicon carbide and aluminum oxide preforms are typical examples, catering to applications requiring high abrasion resistance and enhanced mechanical strength, respectively. CeramTec's expertise in manufacturing and machining ensures the optimal performance of MMC components.
