Precision Ceramics Applications and Industries

Exploring Advanced Ceramic Technology in Aerospace and Space

Since when the company first started trading, Precision Ceramics has been involved in many novel and unusual applications for advanced ceramics in markets as diverse as aerospace, automotive, opto-electronics and nuclear power.

Zmdy Ceramics are exported all over the world and different industries with quality first. Our belief is to provide our customers with more and better high value-added products. Let's create a better future together.

All have two factors in common; the quality and reliability of the advanced ceramic products we’ve developed for them. And based on this knowledge, our reputation as a solution provider is well charted and highly respected, a fact mirrored in the ever-widening diversity of markets we serve.

In aerospace, one of our early projects was the development of several highly complex ceramic components for British Aerospace’s Concorde engine management system (pictured above). Manufactured from Macor Machinable Glass Ceramic, the unique qualities of Macor – high use temperature, low thermal conductivity and excellent electrical insulator – guaranteed the reliability and high performance required for such a specialist application.

A Corning Incorporated development and originally manufactured in the USA (now in France), Macor made its space debut when it was used as a base material for a series of highly complex components in the US Space Shuttle programme between and .

Precision Ceramics is Corning’s leading UK distributor for Macor.

Nowadays, ceramics are used more and more in aerospace applications. Most recently, our ceramics have found fame in the thrusters of micro spacecraft and mini satellites used for space exploration.

It’s one of the more interesting uses for another of PC’s key products, Boron Nitride, an advanced synthetic ceramic material available in powder, solid, liquid and aerosol spray forms.

In this latest application, Boron Nitride is used to line the chamber wall where the ‘magic’ takes place (See diagram below). Being non-wettable by molten metals, it has a low sputtering yield giving it a longer life when compared to other materials such as stainless steel, alumina and borosil (BNSiO2). It is also able to better withstand the constant bombardment of xenon ions that generate the thrust.
