Advanced Ceramics for
High-Tech Industries
Products : Components for the Aerospace
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 to corrosive environment. They are extremely good electrical insulators. They do not outgas in vacuum.
Applications
We manufacture a wide range of components for the following applications :
- accelerometers
- gyroscopes
- vision devices
- ignition devices
- sensors
- spark plugs
- connectors
- engines
Products
Mirocertec offers the following customised components :
- electrode carriers
- 3D interconnection devices
- vibrating components
- electrical insulators
- thermal insulators
- membranes
- magnets
Materials
For these applications, we mainly use the following advanced ceramics :
- alumina (94 to 99.8 %) for its electrical insulation and mechanical strength properties
- sintered aluminium nitride – AlN – due to its higher thermal dissipation but still offering perfect electrical insulation
- Macor ® for a good thermal as well as electrical insulation
- Quartz, silica
- Magnets : hard ferrites, Alnico, rare earth
Thin-film metallising
Thin-film metallised layers made under vacuum can be deposited on these ceramic heat sinks and electrical insulators in addition to our precision grinding.
Microcertec can offer the following thin-film metallised layers for your components to be bonded or brazed :
- titanium - platinum – gold
- chromium - nickel - gold
- copper, aluminium, silver, or indium
- resistive layers - Ta2N
These thin-film metallised layers can be uniquely made on 3D components. They can then be ablated by laser micro-machining in order to create electrical paths or insulating areas.
