Today's aerospace technologies are demanding higher performance in the materials used inside the engines, flight controls, and fluid controls. Traditional metals used in these systems often cannot withstand the extreme conditions. This is where advanced ceramic materials are needed.engineered technical ceramic components provide the mission-critical reliability needed for aerospace propulsion and control systems.

Technical ceramics deliver the high-performance properties needed for the most demanding requirements in aircraft engines and advanced propulsion systems including:

-balls and bearings use the thermal strength and endurance of silicon nitride materials

-Ceramic igniters, bushings, and wear components

-Ceramic tubes & rods are used in investment casting to form vanes on aircraft turbine engines.

Silicon nitride bearing balls for aerospace applications. Cerbec balls and other advanced ceramic components excel in the challenging mechanical and thermal conditions in critical flight control systems, such as ball screw linear actuators for wing flaps and slats.
