CERCOM continues to develop materials and systems with the U.S. Government. Applications include body armor, aircraft and heavy vehicle protection. We also produce a wide range of high strength advanced materials such as Silicon Nitride, Silicon Carbide and Aluminum Nitride. Applications include metal cutting insert blanks, welding fixtures, seals, bearings, liners, and molten metal containment.

 

ADVANCED CERAMICS has the world's largest ceramic hot press facility with 21 vacuum hot press furnaces capable of producing fully dense parts up to 580mm in diameter. ADVANCED CERAMICS proprietary vacuum hot presses were designed and fabricated in house to run at extreme temperatures (>2000°C) and pressures to create a consistent and repeatable process from billet to billet.

The performance of materials densified from powders are extremely sensitive to residual porosity. The demand for high density and complete structural homogeneity of today's advanced materials requires the use of an external pressure during the sintering process. Only "PAD" Pressure Assisted Densification in a vacuum environment ensures excellent performance properties, reliability, durability and quality control. ADVANCED CERAMICS "PAD" process ensures fully dense powder materials with controlled microstructure throughout the material to succeed in the most demanding environments. ADVANCED CERAMICS hot press facility is available to provide customers with a wide range of powder materials in the form of plate stock or as a toll pressing service for customer-supplied powders.
