PUMP COMPONENTS
Our high-performance materials and extensive experiencein construction and development guarantee your machinecomponents extended operating time and high reliability.

Containment shells made of FZM

High-pressure piston made of FZM
with shrink-fitted metal support ring

CONTAINMENT SHELLSHIGH-PRESSURE PISTONS

Containment shells made of high-performance ceramics
allow for maintenance-free and leakage-free shaft seals
in magnetically coupled rotary pumps. The hermeticallysealed housing ensures that corrosive or highly toxic
media will not escape. There is also no system-related
drop leakage - a gain for employees and the environment.
Here, ceramics show their strengths: outstanding corrosion
resistance and virtually perfect non-magnetisability prevent
corrosion and eddy-current losses. Depending on their size,
the high mechanical strength of ceramic containment shells
allows them to be used at 450 °C and pressures of 60 bar.

Pistons made of ceramic materials F99.7, FZT, FZM or
FZM / K are used to convey liquid and high-viscosity
media even when they contain abrasive components.
The plungers manage pressures up to 10,000 bar andare used in applications such as water jet cutters, highpressure cleaners, desalination plants and cooling,rinsing or filtration circuits. The good wear resistance andideal sliding properties (Ra <0.05 μm) enable enhanced
service lives of more than 4,000 h at 3,000 bar while only
developing little frictional heat.

PUMP IMPELLERSSLIDE BEARINGS

Pump impellers for rotary pumps made of F99.7 or FZM aresuitable for special pumps used under extreme conditions.
Depending on the housing construction, highly corrosive,
abrasive and hot media can be transported. Diffusion
bonding allows for the manufacture of very complex
pump impeller geometries that could not be achieved withconventional production techniques.

Ceramic slide bearings with silicon carbide or zirconiumoxide FZM sliding counterparts are used successfullyin mixers and pumps for the food processing industry,
pharmaceutical industry and chemical industry.
Outstanding surface qualities ensure excellent sliding
properties as well as sterilisation and purificationof components without disassembly (CIP / SIP).
Medialubricated slide bearings with magnetic couplings
can solve any problem in sealing applications.

SLIDE AND BEARING DISCSFLOW METERS

Pairs of sealing discs for filling, processing and mixing
plants enable precise dosing of most varied media.
The so-called stick-slip effect can be avoided by specificadjustment of the surface roughness of sliding surfaces toguarantee smooth running.

The magnetic-inductive flow measurement of liquids ofmost different viscosities requires an electrically insulating
pipe segment with a pair of electrodes of precise size andposition. This is exactly what flow meters made of FZM witha sintered platinum-cermet-electrode achieve. The unique
KYOCERA Fineceramics Solutions GmbH sintering technology
guarantees consistent tightness at the joint even if exposed
to high pressure.

PISTON AND CYLINDER DOSING UNITSThe use of ceramics significantly increases the safety andproductivity in liquid filling machines. The FDA approval of
ceramic materials F99.7, FZT and FZM allows safe use indifferent sectors such as the food, pharmaceutical and thechemical industry. Unlike conventional constructions, theuse of ceramics achieves a seal without sealing elements
using high-precision fitting of pistons and cylinders (gapclearance ≤ 3 μm). Our ceramic components solve the problem of purification and sterilisation of components without
disassembly (CIP / SIP).

GRINDING MEDIA

GRINDING VESSELS

Grinding media made of high-performance ceramics are
non-magnetisable and are characterised by high wear
resistance. High chemical resistance and inert property
allow them to be used even with an extremely sensitive
grinding stock. Minimal abrasion does not affect purity
which is of decisive importance when preparing probes foranalyses.

Grinding vessels are available in different sizes anddesigns. The material’s excellent mechanical properties
guarantee maximum service life at minimum wear – evenat high temperatures and with highly corrosive media. FZMand F99.7 are certified in accordance with FDA guidelines.

SEPARATOR WHEELSROLLER BODIES

Separator wheels made of high-performance ceramics
meet the most stringent requirements because of theirsuperior material properties and sophisticated design.
Ceramics show their strength when in contact with highlyabrasive grinding stock: the result is low maintenance andcost reduction. The low specific weight has a positive effecton occurring forces and contributes to smooth operation.

Roller bodies made of high-performance ceramics areused in pairs to crush very hard materials. The product is
not contaminated, and the ceramic roller body made of
F99.7 and FZM easily withstands challenging applications.
To obtain the desired result, we generally recommend a
metal-to-ceramic compound that combines the benefits ofboth materials in one component.

09

POSITIONING AND WELDING PINS
The special composition of our unique materials guarantees
maximum hardness and wear resistance allowing exact
positioning even after many operating cycles.

FZT with metal substrate

Well-known car manufacturers use positioning and welding
pins made of high-performance ceramics. The advantages
are obvious: high wear resistance and hardness ofmaterials ensure precise positioning in cars production.
Compared with steel, ceramics show a 100-fold increase
in service lifetime thus achieving constant high precision.
Material properties such as electrical insulation and hightemperature resistance allow for effortless use of thepositioning pins requiring low maintenance over a long
period.

DEGUSSIT DD57 with metal substrate

A material combination of metal and ceramics allows for
optimised and cost-efficient designs that use ceramics only
when necessary. Our extensive experience with metalto-ceramic assemblies allows us to offer the most varied
and customised solutions. Benefit from low tooling costs,
reduced downtimes and at the same time minimal service
and maintenance costs.
We offer a wide portfolio of high-performance ceramics
to meet different customer requirements. We would bepleased to help you choose the right material dependingon the type of your application.

11

FORMING TOOLS
When combining metal and ceramics, higher hardness isachieved through sophisticated design that leads toenhanced service life and reduced failure probability.

Different forming tools made of FZM and FZT,
some with metal-to-ceramic bondDRAWING RINGSEXTRUSION DIES

High-performance ceramics offer a combination ofmaterial properties that are ideal for use with applicationoriented designs. The excellent wear resistance at very
high mechanical stresses leads to outstanding efficiency
in particular for drawing technology. Our materials allow
long service lives and outstanding surface qualities with
ideal drawing behaviour. These benefits are maintainedeven at high temperatures and in corrosive environments.
The use of drawing grease or drawing oils can be reduced
significantly or even eliminated.

Punches moving in opposite directions in sleeves / diescompress powder into compact components using highpressure. Wall friction on the inside of the die causes heavy
wear on the die wall due to interacting corrosion andabrasion. High-performance ceramics show significantly
better resistance to friction wear and chemical attacks
than metal. An external metal sleeve is shrink-fitted onto
the ceramic absorbing critical stresses and toughening theceramic using compressive stress i.e. leading to enhanced
strength.

12

Forming roller (external diameter 200 mm) made of FZM

Forming cylinders made of FZM

FORMING ROLLERS
Ceramic rollers made of high-performance ceramics
for metal forming have shown excellent results as analternative to conventional materials. High hardness
and wear resistance of ceramics combined with hightemperature resistance guarantee 20-fold service lives
when compared with steel tools. This allows reduced tool
inventories and less tool repair and maintenance work. In
specific cases, tools no longer require cooling. The highsurface quality of ceramics and little adhesion tendency
towards metal results in better surfaces and quality of therolled components when using ceramic instead of metalmaterials. In addition, high-performance ceramics are

chemically inert and do not react with metals or theiroxides. Their resistance to almost any acids and alkalis
makes them suitable for the most difficult ambientconditions.

FOR SPECIAL APPLICATIONS
Our varied manufacturing and machining abilities
allow for high-precision production of large andcomplex components.

Camera housing made of F99.7 for the aerospace industry

Dielectric rails for fuel cells made of F99.7

CAMERA HOUSINGSDIELECTRIC RAILS FOR FUEL CELLS

In-house 5-axis CNC machining supported by ultrasonicprocessing allows the manufacture of complex components
such as this camera housing. The permeability of ceramics
for electromagnetic radiation takes effect in this type of
application: the electromagnetic waves of the sensors
inside the housing can penetrate to the outside, whileradar beams from outside are hardly reflected thus
impeding detection of the aircraft.

Breaking ground requires new methods: corrosion
resistant dielectrics are needed for high temperaturesin fuel cell technology. This is where high-performance
ceramics come into play. Precision rails are machined
accurately to a few μm along the entire length to ensure
exact distances and electrical insulation in MCFCs (Molten
Carbonate Fuel Cells).

diameter 320 mm)

Housing for X-ray image intensifier made of F99.7

VACUUM CHAMBERS

HOUSINGS FOR X-RAY IMAGEINTENSIFIERS

Ceramic vacuum chambers made of high-performance
ceramics are required and used in renowned particle
accelerators such as the LHC at CERN, the DESY in
Hamburg or the HIT in Heidelberg. These components
have excellent properties, which make them ideal for highvoltage insulation or beam deflection using fast-pulsed
magnets. The combination of F99.7 and metal shows
minimum leakage and outgassing rates, making it perfectfor use in the ultra-high vacuum (UHV).
A thin titanium coating on the inner sides of the ceramicchambers allows to be discharge secondary electron
yielded reliably.

Key components in medical technology such as housingsfor X-ray image intensifiers require a combination of metal
and ceramics. Our components not only meet the highest
standards of precision and reliability, they also combine theadvantages of both materials in one component: weldableor screwable metal on one side and electrically insulating
ceramics with high dielectric strength on the other side,both strongly bonded to each other. Our customers benefit
from the highest process stability, thanks to state-of-the art
facilities and years of experience in ceramic brazing.

17

MANUFACTURING PROCESSThe ceramic manufacturing process from the raw material to
the finished product is fundamentally different from metalor plastic production.

Due to technical reasons, ceramic parts shrink during
the sintering process at approx. 1,800 °C. For economic
reasons, close tolerances should be avoided unlessessential. Generally, compliance with dimensional
tolerances of ± 1% is possible without subsequent
treatment. Diamond tools can be used for grinding thehard machining surfaces to achieve tolerances that are
more precise.

18

Although no technical difficulties arise during grinding, theprocess requires increased effort and makes the productmore expensive. Please contact us during the design phaseto discuss and find the appropriate solution that meets alltechnical requirements and at the same is economic andsuitable for ceramics – it is worth it!

PREPARATION

The preparation of raw materials is a key technology forhigh-quality technical ceramics.

LABORATORY TESTS

The prepared bodies are tested constantly toguarantee smooth manufacturing processes. As aresult, particle-size distribution and composition
comply with specifications thus ensuring thehighest quality.

SHAPING

A wide range of shaping methods is available suchas isostatic pressing (dry and wet bag), die pressing,extruding or injection moulding.

GREEN MACHINING

The chalky green body can be shaped quickly andeffectively by sawing, turning, drilling or cutting.

SINTERING

Depending on the material, bisque firing, sinter firing
and temper firing at 800 °C to 2,000 °C are requiredfor consolidation. The components are subjected to ashrinkage of up to 50%.

IN-PROCESS INSPECTION

Pursuant to the critical sintering process step, inprocess inspection (dye-penetration testing and visualinspection) is carried out to allow rejection of defective
parts.

FINISHING

The cost-intensive process step is carried out whenneeded and only if required by the component.
Diamond tools are available for grinding, drilling,sawing, cutting (5-axis CNC) and lapping / polishing.

JOINING TECHNOLOGY

Different methods are available such as brazing(metallic / glass), adhesive bonding, shrink-fitting,screwing or diffusion bonding to manufacture metal-toceramic or ceramic-to-ceramic bonds.

FINAL INSPECTION

The components are generally subjected to a final
inspection prior to dispatch. Customer-specific testing
specifications can be considered.

19

JOINING TECHNOLOGIESDemanding applications often require different material
properties to be combined in one component.
The suitable joining technology is therefore a challenge formaterial scientists.

Ceramic-to-metal assemblies combine the properties ofeach individual material. As a result, the assembly shows
significantly better properties. This is achieved throughuse of the material under conditions that fit its suitability
profile.
KYOCERA Fineceramics Solutions GmbH has developed
a variety of innovative solutions in cooperation withcustomers. Areas of applications range from machine,
pump and plant engineering to high-temperature andelectrical applications.

ADHESIVE BONDING
Epoxy resin-based adhesives have shown excellent
results for many ceramic-to-metal applications. They arecharacterised by:
Good mechanical properties
Good general chemical resistance20

Low curing shrinkage
Easy processing without pressure using thepolyaddition reaction
The main advantage of adhesive bonds is their uncomplicated combining of different materials.
Ceramic-to-metal adhesive bonds can reach tensile
strengths of 50 MPa at room temperature when suitableadhesives and a suitable design for the use of adhesives
are selected. However, these joints consist of organic
adhesives and are subject to an ageing process. In addition,
they should not be exposed to temperatures exceeding 150 °C
for extended periods of time. Special high-performanceadhesives can be used at application temperatures of up to
250 °C.
If higher temperatures are required, only inorganic
adhesives can be used. These adhesives usually consist ofmineral fillers such as Al2O3, ZrO2 and MgO and a binder
phase consisting of water glass, water-­soluble aluminosilicates or phosphates.

Overview of joining techniques

However, the strength values are far below those oforganic adhesives, depending on the curing mechanism,at 10 to 20% of standard epoxy resin adhesives. The decisive
advantage of these adhesives is that they can be used atvery high application temperatures, up to a maximum of
1,750 °C. Graphite systems can be used at temperatures of
up to 2,900 °C under protective gas.

BRAZINGThe brazing of ceramics and metal parts is atechnologically sophisticated joining technique and isused primarily for current-carrying components in vacuum
technology. Due to different coefficients of thermal
expansion, there are limits with regard to material selection
when combining ceramics and metal. The use of classic
metal brazes is limited due to the low wetting capacity ofceramic surfaces. To enable sufficient wetting behaviourof the braze, prior metallisation of the ceramic surface ormodification of the metal braze are required thus allowing
direct wetting of the ceramic.
With regard to the brazing process, brazing of metallised
ceramics is to be distinguished from active brazing. With ametallisation width of at least 2 mm, the strength of thesejoints exceeds 50 MPa. He-leakage rates of <10-10 mbar*l / s
can be achieved even for large components. Brazingof metallised ceramics is a technology that has proved
efficient for joining ceramic and metal components overmany decades. The Mo-Mn method has shown excellent
results. The metallisation has a layer thickness of approx.
15 – 35 μm.

21JOINING TECHNOLOGIESGlass-soldered ozone generator

Diffusion-welded pump impeller

GLASS SOLDERINGDIFFUSION BONDING

Glass soldering is appropriate for gas-tight joiningof ceramic components. This joining technique ischaracterised by a very good general chemical resistanceand operating temperatures up to approx. 1,100 °C. These
joints can easily achieve strengths of 100 MPa at room
temperature. There is great freedom of design with regard
to realisable geometries because glass soldering is lesscomplex than brazing metallic materials. It can be carriedout under an oxidising atmosphere and does not require
metallisation. The bond is 100% gas-tight and chemicallyinert.

Diffusion bonding is also known as pressure welding andjoins components at higher temperatures but below themelting point. This technique can be used to join ceramiccomponents. The contact surfaces of the components
to be joined require precise machining with regard to
surface quality and shape tolerances. As a result, diffusion
produces material-bonded assemblies of the individualcomponents. Ceramic pump impellers with curved blades
are just one example for complex ceramic components thatare manufactured using this joining technique.

Drawing ring, shrink-fitted into metal housing

CO-FIRINGSHRINK FITTING

Sintering both materials in one firing process is anotheroption for joining ceramics and metal. The ceramic partis shrink fitted onto a high-temperature resistant metal
or cermet body. One of the few materials that can be used
is platinum with a melting point of approx. 1,770 °C andan excellent resistance to oxidation. Measurement cells
for magnetic-inductive flow meters (EMF) are the classic
example for the highly successful use of this technology.
Conductors such as platinum wires or platinum-based
cermets used in state-of-the-art EMFs are required forvoltage tapping and are joined with FZM type ceramics
using sintering. Variants with cermet electrodes show
He-leakage rates of <10-10 mbar*l / s and can be exposed
to bursting pressures of >1,000 bar.

A press joint is one example of a force-locked joint that is
appropriate for ceramics. Shrink fitting allows a metal parton the outside to be fitted onto a ceramic part on the inside.
The outer part is heated to push the metallic body on theoutside over the oversized ceramic core. The metal part isshrink-fitted onto the ceramic part through thermal elastic
recovery as it cools. Since ceramic materials have extreme
compressive strength, this design principle accommodates
the strength properties of the ceramic.
In-house tests with test pieces have proved the high strengthof press joints. Vacuum-tight joints can be achieved byinserting an additional intermediate layer of ductile metal
between the part on the inside and the outside.
