Research and Development

August 26, 2021

Science propels us, and our accredited laboratory is where we innovate. SCT Ceramics’ experienced R&D team advances our technical ceramics performance and our brazing procedures. These important discoveries ensure that our products are designed to accommodate the newest technologies within the cardiac, cochlear and neurostimulation markets. Our team collaborates with other research entities on a national and international scale. Our clients thus benefit from a network that incorporates academic and world-renowned research centers.

Our research and development focuses on:

• Miniaturization of components
• Increasing mechanical performance
• Optimizing and developing materials to guarantee performance in increasingly sensitive environments
• Developing new materials
• New methods to continuously improve on our ceramic-to-metal brazing procedures

We’ve nurtured and expanded our laboratory over the last two decades. Our current facility is equipped with the following equipment and capabilities and continues to grow in size and operations.

• Microstructural characterization (Scanning electron microscope, EDX, binocular, optical microscope, digital microscope) from x10 to x20,000
• Mechanical characterization (tensile, compression, bending)
• Electrical characterization (dielectric strength, insulation resistance)
• Ceramic pilot plant (ball mill, spray dryer, press, sintering furnaces) and ceramic control means (laser granulometer, density, viscosity)
