While technical ceramics offer exceptional advantages, their widespread adoption faces challenges. High raw material costs and complex manufacturing processes remain significant barriers, especially for applications sensitive to production expenses. Additionally, brittleness in some ceramic materials can limit their use in applications requiring impact resistance, necessitating the...

The choice of material is the cornerstone of wear part performance. Traditional steels simply cannot withstand the extreme demands. This is why advanced materials are used: Tungsten Carbide: This is the industry workhorse. It's not a single material but a cemented composite (tungsten carbide particles in a cobalt or nickel binder). It offers an exceptional combination of:...
