Advanced Structural Ceramics

SUMMARY

Advanced ceramic materials constitute a mature technology with a very broad base of current and potential applications and a growing list of material compositions. Advanced ceramics are inorganic, nonmetallic materials with combinations of fine-scale microstructures, purity, complex compositions and crystal structures, and accurately controlled additives. Such materials require a level of processing science and engineering far beyond that used in making conventional ceramics.

Within the advanced ceramics category, structural ceramics are wear-resistant, corrosion- resistant and lightweight materials, and are superior to many materials with regard to stability in high-temperature environments. Because of this combination of properties, advanced structural ceramics have an especially high potential to resolve a wide number of today’s material challenges in process industries, power generation, aerospace, transportation and military applications.

This BCC technical/economic study covers material types, production techniques, current and emerging production methods, the road map for structural ceramic developments, current and emerging applications, and industry and market analysis of the various market segments. Current market size and future growth are estimated for the period 2005 to 2010. The report profiles all U.S. companies that produce and supply advanced structural ceramic components and ceramic powders.

SCOPE OF STUDY

The report contains:

• An overview of the various advanced ceramic materials and their production technologies and applications
• Identification of the technological and business issues related to commercial production and use
• A determination of the current market size and future growth for applications in tool inserts, wear-resistant components, energy and hightemperature resistant components, aircraft and aerospace components, military, bioceramics and finally, auto and turbine engine components
• A determination of the current market size and future growth of alumina-based, zirconia, silicon carbide, boron carbide, silicon nitride, titanium diboride, glass and glass-ceramics and other categories.
• Identification and profiles all North American producers of structural ceramic components
