What are the Common Application Areas of the CERMET ?

As a supplier specializing in the research, development, and production of cermet materials, we understand the importance of high-quality materials to industrial production. Our cermet rods, with their exceptional hardness and wear resistance, are reliably suitable for applications requiring consistent hardness and toughness. Our products have undergone numerous market trials and rigorous verification, ensuring reliable quality. Leveraging the core properties of cermets, including high hardness, wear resistance, high-temperature resistance, and corrosion resistance, they are widely used in the following industries:

1. Cutting Processing

This is one of the most mainstream applications for cermets, particularly suited for high-precision, high-efficiency cutting. This is also where we provide core product support for our machining customers.

- Tool Manufacturing: We utilize high-quality cermet raw materials such as WC-Co (tungsten carbide-cobalt) and TiC-Ni (titanium carbide-nickel) to produce a wide range of cutting tools, including turning tools, milling cutters, drills, and reamers. These products are suitable for machining steel, cast iron, non-ferrous metals, and their alloys. They maintain excellent wear resistance and precision even at high cutting speeds. Compared to traditional high-speed steel tools, they offer higher hardness and improved wear resistance, resulting in a lifespan several times longer, significantly reducing tool replacement costs and improving machining efficiency.

- Precision Machining: Targeting the high-precision needs of customers in the automotive and aerospace industries, our cermet products are widely used in precision milling and turning of automotive parts (such as engine blocks and crankshafts) and aerospace components. They precisely guarantee high surface finish and dimensional accuracy, helping customers produce high-specification precision components.

2. Aerospace and Defense

We specialize in extreme environment cermet materials. Leveraging our products' high-temperature resistance, thermal shock resistance, and high strength, we provide key components for the aerospace and defense sectors.

- Engine Components: Our cermets can be used in aerospace engine combustion chamber liners, turbine blade coatings, and tail nozzle assemblies. They withstand high-temperature gas erosion exceeding 1000°C, easily adapting to extreme operating conditions and effectively resisting the risk of cracking caused by sudden temperature fluctuations, ensuring stable engine operation.

- Protection and Weaponry Components: Our cermets can be used in high-temperature missile warhead casings, tank composite armor linings, and tungsten carbide-based cermet cores. These products combine high strength and high penetration capability to meet the demanding requirements of the defense sector.

3. Wear-Resistant and Corrosion-Resistant Components

For the high-wear and highly corrosive industrial environments of mining, metallurgy, and chemical industries, our cermet products can replace traditional metal or ceramic components, significantly extending equipment life and reducing customer maintenance costs.

- Mechanical Wear-Resistant Parts: We specialize in manufacturing mechanical wear-resistant parts such as bearing raceways, valve spools, pump impellers, and crusher hammer liners. Our products maintain stable performance under severe friction and impact, significantly reducing equipment failures caused by wear and effectively improving the durability and production continuity of our customers' equipment.

- Corrosion-Resistant Parts: We utilize cermet materials such as Al₂O₃-Cr (aluminum oxide-chromium) to produce chemical reactor liners, pipe connections, and valve seals. These components offer strong resistance to corrosion from acids, alkalis, and salt solutions, completely resolving the rust problem of traditional metal components and safeguarding chemical production.

4. Electronics and New Energy

We closely monitor the development needs of the electronics and new energy industries, leveraging the controllable thermal and electrical conductivity of cermets to develop and produce a variety of functional components, contributing to industry technological advancements.

- Electronic Contacts: We provide cermet electrical contacts for high-voltage circuit breakers and relays. These products ensure excellent electrical conductivity while withstanding arc erosion. Their excellent thermal conductivity and insulation properties effectively extend the service life of the contacts, ensuring stable operation of electronic equipment.

- New Energy Components: In the new energy sector, our cermets can be used as fuel cell electrode materials, lithium battery cathode carrier materials, and high-temperature sensor sensitive elements. Our products combine structural strength and functional characteristics to meet the high-performance, long-life requirements of new energy equipment.

5. Other Civilian Applications

In addition to core industrial applications, our cermet products also serve a wide range of civilian applications, providing customers with high-quality material solutions.

- Molds and Tools: We produce cold heading dies (for forming bolts and nuts) and wire drawing dies (for drawing metal wire). Compared to traditional mold steel, our products offer greater wear resistance, reducing mold replacement frequency and lowering production downtime and costs.

- Medical: We utilize biocompatible alumina-based cermets to create wear-resistant interfaces for artificial joints, dental implants, surgical instruments, and more. These products ensure sufficient strength while adhering well to human tissue, meeting the long-term performance requirements of medical implants and providing reliable material support for the healthcare industry.
