High-performing technical ceramics<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

New technological advances lead to increasing demands for more efficient ceramics with higher performance levels. For over 100 years, SCT\u2019s commitment to quality has been rooted in the ceramics materials we develop and use. We use proven manufacturing processes to develop our own advanced ceramic formula, ALUCER\u00ae. Our proprietary ceramic consistently produces some of the most high-performing, brazed assemblies within the technical ceramics industry.  <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Introduction to brazing ceramic to metal<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Technical ceramics (or advanced ceramics) are engineered materials that possess exceptional mechanical, electrical and thermal properties. Technical ceramics are an ideal solution where higher strength, lighter materials and longer product lifespans are required. The formulas can be customized to increase a product\u2019s performance in a wide range of applications and extreme conditions.  Throughout the years, SCT has developed over 100 different formulations of our alumina ceramic ALUCER\u00ae to meet the demands of the high-reliability markets we serve. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

SCT has perfected the art of joining ceramic to metal, in a process known as brazing. Brazing produces a hermetic seal between the ceramic and the metal sub-components, a major criterion for assemblies operating in extreme environments. SCT\u2019s brazing occurs at temperatures capable of reaching up to 1,600\u00b0C (2,912\u00b0F).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
