Ensinger PEI
SMAHT Ceramics NZP Low Thermal Expansion Ceramic  (discontinued **)
Categories: Ceramic

Material Notes: The corner-linked crystal structure of NZP materials allows near-zero or tailorable thermal expansion along all crystallographic directions in the NZP structure. This type of isotropic expansion is a key feature to NZP ceramics.

Features:

  • Low and tailorable thermal expansion
  • Exceptional thermal shock resistance
  • High melting temperature
  • Excellent high temperature stability
  • Low thermal conductivity
  • Strength retention to high temperature
  • Excellent machinability
  • Processing amenability
Applications:
  • Optical benches
  • Semiconductor wafer fixtures
  • Furnace support structures
  • Fixtures for high-tolerance brazing
  • Furnace baffles
  • Thermal insulation for diesel engine exhaust parts

Parent Compositions: Alkali (NaZr2P3O12) or Alkaline Earth Zirconium Phosphate (e.g.,BaZr4P6O24 or CaZr4P6O24). Enormous flexibility towards ionic substitutions permits tailorable thermo-physical properties.

Crystal Structure: Hexagonal R3c Space Group, or Monoclinic
