Thermic Edge Aluminium Nitride Ceramic Components

With its properties of electrical insulation and excellent thermal conductivity, Aluminium Nitride Ceramics is ideal for applications where heat dissipation is required. In addition, since it offers a coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) near that of silicon, and excellent plasma resistance, it is used for semiconductor processing equipment components.

Power semiconductor devices – ideal substrate for active metal braze, power transistors, transformers with high capacity and metallisation.

Opto-electronics – high power and high frequency microelectronic packages.

RF/Microwave components – thermal management requirements, Cable TV, Digital Amps etc.

Thermic Edge does not just offer Boron Nitride and composites but also Mykroy, Alumina Silicate, Macor Alumina, Silicon Nitride, Zirconia, Aluminum Nitride.

Alumina or Aluminium Oxide, Al2O3 is a major engineering material. It offers a combination of good mechanical properties and electrical properties leading to a wide range of applications.

Alumina can be produced in a range of purities with additives designed to enhance properties. A wide variety of ceramic processing methods can be applied including machining or net shape forming to produce a wide variety of sizes and shapes of component. In addition, it can be readily joined to metals or other ceramics using metallising and brazing techniques. Applications would be Semiconductor insulators, wear resistance components, and anything requiring superior mechanical, electrical and thermal properties

Silicon Nitride (Si3N4) is 60% lighter than steel but strong enough to survive some of the most demanding applications in a variety of industries. This lightweight, high-strength ceramic material is used as an alternative to stainless steel, super alloys, tungsten carbides and first-generation ceramics such as Al2O3 and ZrO2.

It offers excellent thermal shock resistance and high fracture toughness, compatibility with nonferrous metal melts, and improved structural reliability compared to other ceramic materials.
