ADVANCED CERAMICS exhibit outstanding properties in automotive and aerospace applications such as turbocharger turbines, heat sheilds and corrosion resistant wear parts. Other uses include cutting tools, electronic components and bioceramic bone joints. Unique/Pereny process equipment and technology are currently used to produce the most advanced ceramic oxide and non-oxide powders and parts. These include alumina, corderite, beryllia, zirconia, titanates, PZT, carbides, nitrides and borides. For production and pilot scale operations, the Unique/Pereny furnaces, kilns and systems selected and routinely employed by advanced ceramic industry leaders and innovators are;
