Engineer ceramic-What are the applications in THE CAR?
1.Ceramic engine
The higher the combustion temperature in the engine, the greater the power generated, the higher the efficiency of the fuel, silicon nitride ceramics, zirconia ceramics, silicon carbide ceramics and other materials have super high temperature resistance, without complex cooling system, compared with metal, ceramic engine is small in size and light in weight, its thermal efficiency can reach about 50%, which can save more than 20% of fuel than metal engines, environmental protection and energy saving.
At present, ceramic engines are a hot spot in the world’s automotive research, among which ceramics have been widely used in spark plugs, valves and other components.
2.Ceramic sensors
Functional ceramics with specific properties such as insulation, dielectric, semiconductor, piezoelectric and magnetic conductivity are increasingly used in multi-regulation sensitive components of automobiles. There are temperature sensors, air-fuel ratio sensors, lean air-fuel sensors, exhaust gas sensors, knock sensors, etc.
3.Ceramic bearings
The main material of ceramic bearings is silicon nitride ceramics or oxide ceramics, which has the characteristics of high temperature resistance, wear resistance, corrosion resistance, insulation, low requirements for lubrication and cooling, and long service life.
It is expected that in the next few years, the engineer ceramic market will maintain a rapid growth trend. With the continuous progress of technology and the continuous expansion of the market, the application field of high-purity engineer ceramic will be further broadened, and the market demand will continue to grow.
