The company offers a diverse portfolio exceeding 10,000 products, parts, and components made from technical ceramics. These products serve various applications across industries such as automotive, electronics, energy, and medical technology. Employing over 3,800 people worldwide, CeramTec is committed to innovation and quality, providing high-performance ceramic solutions that meet the evolving needs of modern technology.
The ceramics specialist CeramTec is expanding its portfolio of high-tech cutting materials with the silicon nitride ceramic LKT 100 for the highly efficient turning of cast iron materials. The new cutting material combines the toughness typical of silicon nitride ceramics with increased wear resistance. This increased performance behaviour is achieved through an innovative manufacturing process which allowed CeramTec to influence the composition of the cutting material in the outer functional zone.
Reduced complexity, enhanced performance: CeramTec‘s new high-performance iCT tool system features a completely revised clamping system for optimised performance. At the same time, the number of variants has been reduced to enable easier handling and greater security for customers when assigning spare parts to the tools.
With a new generation of electric cars requiring different production techniques and technologies, the automotive industry is in a fundamental process of change characterised by ongoing development. Standard solutions are often not adequate anymore and suppliers need to adapt their products accordingly. With its customised ceramic component solutions for the non-ferrous molten metal industry, CeramTec supports the automotive industry on its way towards e-mobility.
