The use of technical ceramics is becoming increasingly important in the field of induction technology. Silicon nitride in particular has proven itself as a material because it is wear-resistant, electrically insulating and non-magnetic. These properties make it particularly suitable for applications where high temperatures and precise energy control are required.
The advantages of technical ceramics in induction technology
Technical ceramics offer numerous advantages in induction technology. Their properties, such as electrical insulation and non-magnetism, enable targeted control of the induction field. This leads to a reduction in the heating of unwanted components, which in turn increases efficiency and minimises thermal loads on systems and tools. Ceramics also offer excellent thermal shock resistance, which increases their durability and resistance in intensive applications.
Ceramic products from CVT for induction technology
CVT's products for induction technology are made of high-performance ceramic materials that meet the requirements of the industry. Our ceramic components offer high durability and precise function:
- Welding rollers: Used in coil tube production lines to hold the seam edges in place during longitudinal seam welding. Due to their non-magnetic and electrically insulating properties, they do not interfere with the welding process during induction and arc welding.
- Workpiece carriers: These are used in induction hardening to keep the components stable during heating and quenching without affecting the induction field. The ceramic remains stable and functional even during extreme temperature changes.
- Sliding shoes/sliding blocks: Ceramic sliding blocks are used in induction hardening systems, which offer high wear resistance and temperature stability. Silicon nitride retains its strength particularly at very high temperatures and is ideal for use in systems for machining components such as crankshafts.
Conclusion: Technical ceramics for efficient and durable induction technology
Thanks to the outstanding properties of technical ceramics, especially silicon nitride, induction technology offers a reliable and durable solution for demanding applications. The precise control of energy and resistance to extreme temperatures make ceramic components an indispensable part of modern induction processes. With CVT's ceramic products, companies benefit from more efficient and longer-lasting systems.
