Customized processing of ceramic long plates

Ceramic long plate is a flat component made by precision machining advanced ceramic materials such as alumina, zirconia, aluminum nitride, or silicon carbide. Compared with traditional metal materials, ceramic long plates play an irreplaceable role in modern high-precision industry, semiconductor manufacturing, medical equipment, and scientific research instruments due to their unique physical and chemical properties. Customized processing ensures that ceramic long plates can meet specific size, shape, precision, and functional requirements for different application scenarios.

Product application areas
The application of ceramic long plates is extensive and deeply involved in multiple high-tech industries:
-Semiconductor and Electronic Manufacturing: Used as a wafer carrier platform, lithography machine base, electronic packaging substrate, etc., in high cleanliness and high stability environments.
-Medical and Life Sciences: Used for supporting structures, surgical instrument guides, high-precision detection platforms, etc. of medical imaging equipment such as CT and MRI.
-Industrial automation and precision measurement: used as a guide platform or reference plane for coordinate measuring machines, laser cutting machines, and high-precision machine tools.
-Research instruments: provide stable support in optical platforms, vacuum chambers, microscope stages, and other equipment.
-New energy and aerospace: used for extreme environments such as fuel cell stack platforms and structural components of satellite optical systems.

Product advantages and features
The core advantage of customized processing of ceramic long plates comes from the excellent performance of the material itself and precision machining technology:

1. Extremely high hardness and wear resistance
   The hardness of ceramic materials can reach HRA80-90, far higher than most metals, significantly reducing wear caused by friction and extending service life.
2. Excellent thermal stability
   Low thermal expansion coefficient (usually below 8 × 10 ⁻⁶/℃) and good thermal conductivity ensure dimensional stability in temperature changing environments, suitable for alternating high and low temperature working conditions.
3. Excellent corrosion resistance
   Has strong resistance to acids, bases, and organic solvents, suitable for use in corrosive environments or places with high cleanliness requirements.
4. High rigidity and lightweight
   The specific stiffness (elastic modulus/density) is higher than that of metals, reducing overall weight while ensuring structural rigidity.
5. Good insulation and dielectric properties
   Suitable for scenarios in electronic and power equipment that require insulation or specific electromagnetic properties.
6. Customized flexibility
   The size (from millimeter level to meter level), shape (flat plate, irregular shape, perforated groove structure), surface treatment (polishing, coating, metallization) and accuracy (flatness can reach ± 0.001mm) can be adjusted according to the needs.

Key issues to be addressed
The customized processing of ceramic long plates directly targets the pain points of the following industries:
-Accuracy loss problem: In high temperature, high humidity, or corrosive environments, metal platforms are prone to deformation or corrosion, while ceramic long plates can maintain micrometer or even nanometer level accuracy for a long time.
-High maintenance costs: Traditional materials require frequent calibration or replacement, and the wear-resistant and corrosion-resistant properties of ceramics significantly reduce maintenance frequency and costs.
-Pollution risk: In the semiconductor or medical fields, ceramic materials do not precipitate or adsorb particles, ensuring the cleanliness of production or testing processes.
-Insufficient dynamic performance: The high rigidity and low density characteristics improve the response speed and stability of the equipment motion platform, making it suitable for high-speed and high-precision equipment.
