Tensile, compression and bending tests on ceramic components
Universal testing machine inspekt table 50kN with a special device for ceramic specimens
Ceramic components play a crucial role in vehicle construction. Since the introduction of the spark plug, their use has steadily expanded. Today they are used, for example, in:
- Exhaust gas catalytic converters for more efficient exhaust gas purification
- Sensors and lighting technology for improved vehicle control
- Particle filters to reduce pollutant emissions
These components actively contribute to driving safety, environmental compatibility and comfort in modern vehicles.
