ALUMINA SYSTEMS GMBH - A Brilliant Idea behind Every Product.

CERAMIC METAL COMPONENTS FOR USE IN HIGH-TECH APPLICATIONS. Vacuum-tight metal ceramic composite components – manufactured from the high-performance material aluminium oxide and a metallic join partner – are the core business of Alumina Systems GmbH. These components are used where switching of maximum energies is involved, e.g. in energy, laser, X-ray, plasma, medical and accelerator technology. A great advantage of technical ceramics is the high electrical insulation up to high temperatures. Fields of application are, for instance Sensors in ship engines (thin-wire bonding), precursor gas distributing rings with wafer coating (PE-ALD) or small engines for satellites. Here, ceramic composite components first allow the application to be realised. In addition to standard products like electrical feedthroughs, vacuum switching tubes or vacuum insulators, the demand for customer-specific high-end applications is constantly increasing. At Alumina Systems, mechanical/thermal stresses on a component are simulated here via the finite element method (FEM) even before the actual construction of the component, and the most suitable design for the application is thus selected – without having to produce a real component.
