Ceramic Materials
Kyocera has developed many new materials carving out a name for ourselves as a pioneer in Fine Ceramics. We have already developed more than 200 new materials. These include polycrystalline oxide materials manufactured by a general firing process, such as alumina; nonoxide materials, such as silicon nitride and silicon carbide; and single crystal materials created by crystal control growth technology, such as sapphire. We also mass-produce Fine Ceramic products.
