Advanced Ceramics

Technical ceramics are advanced materials designed for high performance in demanding operating conditions. They provide excellent resistance to high temperatures, wear, corrosion, and mechanical loads, making them ideal for aerospace, energy, electronics, and industrial applications.

Thanks to their engineered compositions and tightly controlled manufacturing processes, technical ceramics deliver reliable, high-performance solutions where conventional materials are no longer sufficient.

Carbides

Petroceramics develops and manufactures advanced carbide materials and components designed for the most demanding operating conditions. Through extensive expertise in reaction bonding, sintering, and silicon infiltration, we produce high-performance solutions characterized by outstanding mechanical strength, thermal stability, and chemical resistance.

A major application area for our carbide materials is ballistic protection, where their exceptional hardness, wear resistance, and low density provide effective and lightweight protection solutions. These materials are also employed in demanding aerospace and mechanical engineering applications.

Our expertise covers a broad range of materials and processing routes, including:

  • Pressureless and pressure-sintered SiC, TiC, ZrC, B₄C, and TiB₂
  • Silicon-infiltrated SiC
  • Reaction-bonded and recrystallized ceramics
  • Advanced carbide-based composites

Whether developing custom components or tailoring material properties to specific requirements, we provide reliable solutions for demanding applications and extreme operating environments.

Oxides

Petroceramics develops and manufactures advanced oxide ceramic materials and components for demanding applications requiring high electrical insulation, mechanical strength, and excellent resistance to wear, corrosion, and high temperatures.

Drawing on extensive expertise in alumina, zirconia, mullite, and cordierite materials, we design tailor-made solutions for automotive, aerospace, defense, energy, and industrial applications. Our processing capabilities enable the production of components optimized for specific operating conditions and performance requirements.

Our expertise includes:

  • Zirconia oxygen sensors (lambda probes) for high-temperature environments
  • Advanced insulating materials for braking systems
  • Two- and three-dimensional ceramic filters for industrial and environmental applications
  • Impact-resistant materials for ballistic protection
  • Alumina, zirconia, mullite, and cordierite solutions for high-temperature and refractory applications

Oxide ceramics also play a key role in next-generation energy technologies. Through our partnership with Hydrospark, we contribute to the development and industrialization of Solid Oxide Cells (SOCs), supporting advanced energy conversion and storage systems.
