Ceramics
Heat-resistant, used in engine components and thermal protection systems.
| Alumina (Al₂O₃) | Insulation and wear-resistant coatings in electronics and fittings. |
| Ceramic Matrix Composites (CMCs) | High-performance materials in jet engines and exhaust systems, offering better heat resistance and lower weight compared to metals. |
| Glass-Ceramics (e.g., Lithium-Aluminosilicate) | Used in radomes (nose cones) for their radar transparency and thermal stability. |
| Lead Zirconate Titanate (PZT) | Piezoelectric sensors for real-time engine monitoring. |
| Silicon Carbide (SiC) | Abradable linings and potential structural use in next-gen engines. |
| Silicon Nitride (Si₃N₄) | High-strength ceramic for bearings and seals (e.g., Rolls-Royce Trent series). |
| Yttria-Stabilized Zirconia (YSZ) | 7–8% yttria stabilizes zirconia’s structure, used in TBCs for turbine blades (e.g., GE90 engines). |
A list of OEMs that make Ceramics is coming soon. Please check back again next week.
