CeramTec - Aluminum Titanate (Al2TiO5) Components for Industrial Applications

Aluminum Titanate (Al2TiO5) is notable for its excellent thermal shock resistance, allowing it to withstand rapid temperature changes without damage despite its low strength. This property arises from its low thermal expansion and a degree of porosity within its structure. Due to its low wettability with molten metals, Aluminum Titanate is highly suitable for use in foundry technology and metallurgical melting processes. This ceramic material is increasingly significant in automotive and energy sectors, potentially enhancing exhaust gas aftertreatment systems and thermal insulation in fuel cell components. CeramTec produces essential components for metal flow control, including riser tubes for low-pressure die casting, dosing tubes for dosing furnaces, and various elements such as slide plates and closure plates. Additionally, their product range features mould inserts, nozzles, bushes, break rings for continuous casting, and insulating rings.
