Ceramics Material Characterization

As consumers' demand for electronic devices increases, the global market for high-tech ceramics, is expected to increase significantly. Ceramic products are famous for their high melting point, high hardness, poor conductivity, high elastic modulus, lightweight, wear/chemical/heat resistance and low ductility properties. [1]This makes them ideal for parts subjected to harsh environments where traditional metals and polymers would not endure, including aerospace components, implantable medical devices, electronics and power generation/transmission equipment. For ceramic material testing, our company. Alfa Chemistry offers a variety of special ceramic testing that allows you to determine their advanced properties. We carry ASTM, EN, ISO and other international standards covering the ceramic tensile, compression, creep strain and shear strength testing.

We have instruments and experts to monitor and analyze various aspects of ceramics, such as the mechanical properties of the materials, the density of metal materials, friction and wear properties. Besides, torque, axial force and slip resistance of high strength bolts of fasteners can also be measured.

The following analysis instruments are frequently used to provide information about ceramics including chemical composition, microanalysis, mechanical, property, and other performance testing.
