Application of steatite ceramic

Steatite ceramic (magnesium silicate ceramic, MgSiO₃), valued for its excellent electrical insulation, low dielectric loss, and good thermal stability, is mainly applied in the electronics, electrical, automotive, and household appliance fields. Its specific applications are as follows:

1. Electronics & Electrical Field (Core Application)

• High-Frequency Insulators: Used to make insulators for high-frequency antennas, radio frequency (RF) components, and microwave devices. Its low dielectric constant (ε≈6–7) and extremely low dielectric loss (tanδ<0.001 at 1 MHz) ensure stable signal transmission without interference, which is critical for communication equipment.

• Electronic Component Substrates & Supports: Serves as substrates for small electronic components (e.g., resistors, capacitors) and supports for integrated circuit (IC) chips. Its good electrical insulation (volume resistivity ≥10¹⁴ Ω·cm) and flat surface prevent short circuits and ensure component stability.

• High-Voltage Insulation Parts: Manufactures insulators for high-voltage fuses, circuit breakers, and transformers. It can withstand AC/DC high voltages (up to tens of kilovolts) without breakdown, adapting to the insulation needs of power distribution systems.

2. Automotive Industry

• On-Board Electronic Insulators: Applied in insulation parts for automotive ECUs (Engine Control Units), sensors (e.g., temperature sensors, pressure sensors), and ignition system components (e.g., ignition coil insulators). Its thermal stability (long-term use at 300–400°C) and vibration resistance fit the harsh environment of vehicle electronics.

• Connector Insulation Sleeves: Used as insulation sleeves for automotive wire harness connectors and terminal blocks. It is resistant to engine oil, coolant, and other automotive fluids, preventing electrical leakage and ensuring reliable connection of the vehicle’s electrical system.

3. Household Appliances & Industrial Equipment

• Appliance Insulation Components: Makes insulation parts for household appliances such as electric irons (heating tube insulators), microwave ovens (magnetron insulators), and electric water heaters (heating element supports). Its heat resistance and insulation prevent electric shock risks during appliance operation.

• Industrial Heater Insulators: Used in insulators for industrial electric heating tubes, thermocouple protection sleeves, and high-temperature furnaces. It can withstand continuous high temperatures (up to 800°C) without deformation, ensuring safe operation of heating equipment.

4. Other Special Fields

• Ceramic Beads & Crafts: Due to its good processability (easy to mold into small parts) and chemical stability, it is made into ceramic beads for jewelry (non-toxic, non-allergic) and precision grinding beads (for polishing small metal/glass parts, with low wear).

• Aerospace Auxiliary Parts: In some low-temperature aerospace electronic systems, it is used as auxiliary insulation parts (e.g., satellite low-voltage circuit insulators) because of its stable performance in a wide temperature range (-50°C to 400°C).
