High-Strength Metallized Ceramic Components Accelerate Applications in Multiple Fields, Contributing To The Upgrading Of Power Electronics And New Energy Technologies

Apr 26, 2026

With the increasing demand for high-reliability packaging materials in the power semiconductor, high-voltage direct current (HVDC) power transmission and distribution, and new energy vehicle industries, High-Strength Metallized Ceramic Components are becoming a core technology solution for connecting ceramic insulating bodies and metal conductive structures. These components achieve an organic combination of the high strength, high temperature resistance, and high insulation of ceramics with the solderability and hermeticity of metals by fabricating a metallized transition layer on the surface of advanced ceramic substrates (such as alumina, silicon nitride, and zirconium oxide). They are widely used in demanding applications such as power electronic modules, high-voltage relays, medical X-ray tubes, and precision hydraulic components.

Technical characteristics: High strength and multi-functional integration

 

Material systems represented by Alumina Metallized Ceramics, using high-purity alumina or silicon nitride as the matrix, achieve flexural strengths exceeding 1200 MPa, far superior to traditional insulating materials. A dense metal layer is formed on the ceramic surface using the molybdenum-manganese method or thick-film technology, combined with electroplating of nickel and copper, resulting in a ceramic-metal interface that combines high bonding strength with vacuum sealing. These components can withstand temperatures exceeding 1000°C, severe thermal shock, and corrosive media while maintaining excellent electrical insulation properties. Particularly in high-voltage DC contactors, the HVDC contactor ceramic enclosure utilizes the sealed cavity structure of metallized ceramics to effectively extinguish arcs and withstand thousands of volts of DC voltage, becoming a critical safety component in converter stations and energy storage systems.
