Market Development Present Situation of Global Alumina Ceramics

The wear resistance of alumina ceramics is equivalent to 266 times of manganese steel and 171.5 times of high chromium cast iron, whose density is 3.5 g/cm3, only about half as much as that of steel. It can greatly reduce the load of equipment. And under the same conditions, it can prolong the service life of equipment more than ten times at least.

From the point of the world's major markets, alumina ceramics in Japan, the United States and the European market are representatives.

A, Japan regards industrial precision ceramics as a kind of high-tech industry that decides the prospects and competitiveness in the future, and advanced ceramic elements have covered a major share in the international market. Constant innovation on high-tech ceramic material makes the Japanese with more broad prospects for development in the chemical industry, petrochemical industry, food engineering, environmental engineering and electronics industry.

B, The electronic ceramic elements in the United States are still in the mainstream market. Between 2010 to 2015, aluminum oxide, titanium oxide, zirconium oxide and other composite products are mainly used in electronic devices, industrial machinery, chemical industry, environmental pollution control and other fields.

Starting from 2000, an advanced ceramic association from the United States jointly funds the United States advanced ceramics development plans with the National Department of Energy for a period of 20 years, which is mainly used on the basic research of advanced ceramics, application and development, and product application, promoting jointly the application of advanced structural ceramics materials development. The goal is that advanced ceramics with its superior resistance and high temperature performance, reliability, and other unique properties, become the first choice of the economic and applicable materials in 2020, and it can be widely used in industrial manufacturing, energy, aerospace, transportation, military, consumer goods manufacturing and other fields.

C, European countries focus on new materials technology applied in the power generation equipment, such as ceramic piston cover, exhaust pipe lining, turbocharger and gas rotation.
