The advantages of high-quality ceramic materials, so-called high-performance ceramics, are useful for various applications in private households. In the general overview, the following material and product properties should be pointed out:

  • Mechanical strength
  • Elastic properties, in some cases comparable with stainless steel
  • High hardness
  • High wear resistance
  • Durable edge sharpness
  • Edge stability
  • High damage tolerance
  • Resistance to high and low temperatures
  • High thermal shock resistance
  • Material-dependent high or low thermal conductivity
  • Low thermal expansion compared to metals usually used in households
  • Low tendency to stick to food during frying
  • Pronounced shape stability
  • Resistance to chemical corrosion
  • Long-term stability of electromechanical properties
  • No skin irritations
  • Wide variation in decorative colours
  • Aesthetics and haptics
  • Regulatory approval for foodstuffs
  • Ability to form force, form-fit, and substance-to-substance bonds, e.g. with plastics and metals

In various areas of private households, products and equipment components made of high-performance ceramic materials often form part of the standard equipment. Depending on the concrete application, such precision components have so far been manufactured from Al2O3, doped ZrO2, Si3N4 and piezoceramics.
