NOVEMBER 2023CONSTRUCTIONBUSINESSREVIEW.COM6Advanced technical ceramics are emerging as versatile and cost-effective alternatives to conventional materials, finding applications in thermal barrier coatings (TBCs). The use of advanced ceramics, particularly the PDC route, offers advantages like lower processing temperatures and enhanced efficiency compared to traditional methods. This leads to significantly extended lifespans, potentially up to 100 times that of steel counterparts. In the realm of technical ceramic engineering, these materials deliver unparalleled durability and precision, a true game-changer for applications like healthcare industry blades, pharmaceutical capsule cutting tools, and sizable ceramic trimming blades, contributing to advancements across various industries.Advanced ceramics are rapidly advancing at breakneck speed. It is predicted that the ceramics market will soar to an astounding $169.3 billion by 2030. The construction, healthcare, and transportation sectors are steering this growth. What's particularly intriguing is the evolution of ceramic 3D printing, with innovations like ceramic on-demand extrusion (CODE) showing immense promise for creating technical ceramics. The demand for advanced ceramics is on the rise, primarily due to their lightweight attributes, benefiting sectors such as electronics and electric vehicles. Leading the charge is alumina, securing a significant revenue share and finding its place in applications demanding thermal stability and wear resistance, such as high-voltage insulators, mechanical seals, semiconductor components, and ballistic armor. This edition of Construction Business Review brings to light the key developments in ceramics and how firms are leveraging the latest technologies to offer top-notch services. It features thought leadership articles from Brian King, EVP Marketing, Product Management and Sustainability, Advanced Drainage Systems, and Chris Giovanelli, Director of Global Product Management, Kawneer.Brian King emphasizes the need for businesses to embrace circularity and extended producer responsibility (EPR) policies, ensuring that products have multiple lifecycles as steps for a more sustainable future. Chris Giovanelli talks about how aluminum framing systems provide versatile and sustainable solutions in the education and healthcare sectors, enhancing learning environments and patient well-being.In this edition featuring the Top Ceramic Services Providers 2023, we hope you find the appropriate company suited to your business requirements.Let us know your thoughts.TRANSFORMING INDUSTRIES WITH ADVANCED TECHNICAL CERAMICSEDITORIALCopyright © 2023 ValleyMedia, Inc.
