Kyocera Expands U.S. Fine Ceramics Manufacturing

Kyocera International, Inc./JP announced an expansion that adds 30 000-psi Cold Isostatic Press (CIP) capabilities at its Fine Ceramics manufacturing plant in Hendersonville, NC/US. The new CIP enables the forming of larger, more uniform ceramic structures, supporting applications that require exceptional strength, purity, and dimensional stability. Additional benefits include improved structural integrity during sintering, and more consistent material properties, especially for larger or complex parts. As a global leader in industrial ceramics, Kyocera is expanding its U.S. manufacturing capabilities and productivity to supply ceramic components in larger dimensions for a wider range of engineered solutions – including energy, aerospace, semiconductor, medical, general industrial applications, and more.

Kyocera’s Cold Isostatic Press Capabilities
Kyocera’s Hendersonville, NC plant is vertically integrated to produce structural and mechanical components from oxide ceramics such as alumina and zirconia. To accommodate the new press, Kyocera expanded the plant by 16 000 sq. ft. (approx. 1486 m2), with new green machining capabilities to support related processes. Forming by isostatic compaction​ is a key process in ceramic manufacturing, and Kyocera is highly invested in state-of-the-art machinery to produce the highest quality components. The maximum dimensions of the ceramic components are 36 inches (approx. 91,5 cm) in diameter by 50 inches (approx. 127 cm) in length.
