CeramTec Introduces the World's First Aluminum Nitride Extrusion
The ceramics experts at CeramTec have successfully developed an exceptional thermally conductive aluminum nitride extrusion called Alunit®. This innovative process is the only one of its kind worldwide. It allows rod-shaped bodies and tube systems made of ceramic to possess the characteristics of high mechanical stability and dielectric strength. Alunit® exhibits uniform thermal conductivity and expansion in all directions. Its thermal expansion coefficient rivals that of silicon (approx. 4 ppm/K).
With its outstanding power insulating properties and extremely high heat conductivity (≥ 170 W/mK), Alunit® is perfect for higher-power electronic applications. Alunit® allows the assembly of compact and cost-effective components and hybrids with high integration density. Excellent mechanical strength and a low thermal coefficient of expansion permit problem-free systems integration.
