Ceramic Tapes & Substrates Why “Ceramic Tapes & Subtrates” from Kerafol? KERAFOL - Keramische Folien GmbH was founded in 1985 and has over 200 employees at the moment. We develope and produce ceramic tapes for versatile applications with a special manufacturing process. These tapes may then be used unsintered as a final product or sintered being used as a planar ceramic component. All products of our department “Ceramic Tapes & Substrates” (CTS) are produced at Kerafol in Eschenbach i. d. Opf. (Bavaria, Germany). Kerafol can therefore offer its customers smaller series production to an attractive...

Setter-Plates / Kiln Funiture Thin- and Thicklm Substrates Wear Protection Ceramic Tapes and Substrates Product Overview

Ceramic Tapes and Substrates Products Setter / Kiln Furniture Due to our special production method, our setter plates show a very smooth surface with high porosity but small pores. Kerafol setters are especially developed for debinding and sintering processes of ceramic injection moulding (CIM), metal injection moulding (MIM) or solid oxide fuel cells SOFC processes. Thin- and Thickfilm Substrates Thinfilm Substrates made by Kerafol based on alumina, zirconia oxide or zirconia toughened alumina. Theses substrates are especially developed and used for thinfilm applications. The 96% alumina thickfilm...

Setter-Plates / Kiln Furniture Gross density Bending strength Average pore size Standard thicknesses Maximum operation temperature Typical characteristics Due to the low heat capacity, the demand of energy for the kiln is lower, compared to conventional setter and kiln furniture. The demand of time and energy for heating up and cooling down the kiln furniture is significantly reduced by using Kerafol setter plates. Our customers use these setters for sintering Low Temperature Co-fired Ceramics (LTCC), Solid Oxide Fuell Cells, dental ceramics and for debinding and sintering staínless steel metal...

Setter-Plates / Kiln Furniture Gross density Maximum operation temperature 10 | CERAMIC TAPES & SUBSTRATES Please ask for you tailormade dimensions and we will create your Keralpor S quickly. All sizes are available with a thickness of 1.6 mm! Due to the porous structure of the setter, adherences of the overlying green ware can be avoided. Customers use Keralpor S especially for debinding and sintering stainless steel MIM products and when the cooling process in the kiln is fast. Bending strength The Keralpor S is a setter, which can be used for sintering various of metal injection moulding (MIM)...

The coated zirconia layer prevents contact reaction between Al2O3 and the sintered part. Through the porous structure, adhesion of the sintered part will be additional...

Setter-Plates / Kiln Furniture Bulk density Maximum operation temperature Ignition loss Maximum particle size The RT is a tape for one-time use. It consists of almost 87% of special alumina powder, which is embeded in a special organic carrier matrix. The high flexibility allows, for example, also the lining of 3D setters in the sintering and casting technology. The organic components of the tape are free of phthalates and burns free of residue at temperatures of about 500°C and oxidizing kiln atmosphere. The remaining alumina powder prevents adhesion of the products to the setter and allows...

Thin- and Thickfilm Substrates Partly Stabilised Zirconia Typical characteristics Bending strength Thermal expansion coefficient Thermal conductivity Standard dimensions Unit Value PSZ is a specific partially stabilised zirco- nia oxide substrate for thinfilm applications. This substrate material combines good electrical insulating properties (at room temperature) with a high bending strength and high fracture toughness. Due to the very fine grains and evenness of the PSZ very fine Pt-structures are possible. very fine-grained homogeneous grain structure good electrical insulation properties...
