Ceramic components refer to mechanical parts manufactured from advanced ceramic materials-such as oxide, nitride, boride, and carbide ceramics-through a series of processes including mixing, forming, sintering, and machining. These components are characterized by exceptional properties, including high strength, high hardness, high elastic modulus, high-temperature resistance, wear resistance, corrosion resistance, oxidation resistance, and thermal shock resistance. The material systems employed span various categories, including oxide, nitride, boride, and carbide ceramics; furthermore, certain products utilize powder metallurgy techniques to achieve cost-effective manufacturing.
Driven by breakthroughs in ceramic forming technologies, these components can now be fabricated into non-standard shapes, serving as effective replacements for traditional metal parts. The advent of 3D printing technology has further accelerated the industrialization of the ceramic components sector; utilizing light-curing processes, it is now possible to mass-produce ceramic components for semiconductor applications, aircraft engine parts, and dental prosthetics. Moreover, large-format printing equipment enables the manufacturing of ceramic parts with dimensions reaching up to 550 × 550 × 300 mm.
