Microcertec - Ceramic Components for Lasers and Optoelectronic Devices - Brochure

Ceramic components offer significant advantages over metal and plastic parts. They retain their full dimensional stability at high temperatures – well above 1000°C. They show a high-wear resistance. They are extremely good electrical insulators. They do not outgas in vacuum environment. Ceramics are inert materials and are resistant to many gases and chemicals. The majority of ceramics show high thermal insulating properties but conversly a few of them offer high thermal dissipation.
