Sustainable, Adaptable Refractory Solutions for the Automotive Industry
Saint-Gobain Performance Ceramics & Refractories produces an extensive range of sustainable, adaptable refractory solutions for the automotive industry, with a focus on electric vehicles and equipment such as ceramic rollers, vessels, plates, saggers and furnace components used in the production of materials like CAM powder for car batteries and in the hot-forming process.
Electric Vehicles
We offer a range of solutions for the electric vehicle (EV) industry and deliver products for the thermal processing of lithium battery powder and the production of specialized metal components; sustainable and long-lasting rollers and saggers provide excellent resistance against product contamination and pollution.
Rollers for CAM production
Saint-Gobain plays a key role in the EV battery supply chain. We support battery manufacturers and producers of cathode active material (CAM) powder for electric vehicles, whether NMC, LFP, NCA, or other specialized formulations. The selection and optimized production of the most appropriate cathode active materials increases the performance and structure of batteries, extends service life, and improves safety levels. Leading industry players produce CAM powder in specialized high-temperature furnaces in a challenging, and sometimes corrosive, environment. This is where Saint-Gobain brings value to the process.
Our silicon carbide (SiC) ceramic rollers are ideal for use in furnaces where production rates, product quality, and minimized downtime/interruptions are crucial. Using advanced silicon materials enables the reliable production of the most effective and dependable products necessary for lithium-ion car batteries.
In short, Saint-Gobain develops products that bring maximized value to the components that car battery manufacturers require. As such, we must provide these at the highest quality.
Saggers for CAM production
Additionally, we are involved in sagger production for CAM powder sintering and processing. Our ceramic saggers protect CAM powders from contamination, which would otherwise impact the performance and safety final li-ion batteries, while improving heat transfer uniformity (final product consistency). Our unique, drop-in design supports increased throughput while reducing early failure due to thermal shock, increasing the average lifetime of the sagger. Ultimately, use of Saint-Gobain saggers result in increased CAM product quality, consistency, and throughput while reducing the overall energy use of the process and ceramic waste streams through increased cycle life.
Hot Forming Rollers
Our specialty advanced ceramic products and advanced silicon carbide materials are seen as the industry benchmark in solving a range of processing challenges from chemical processing to heat exchangers, sandblasting to semiconductor wafer processing. For the automotive industry, we leverage our vast ceramic materials portfolio to manufacture the rollers used inside furnaces and kilns to provide outstanding shape stability, thermal conductivity, thermal shock resistance, defined flatness, and surface finish.
We maximize the sustainability of our products through an optional proprietary retake and refurbishment process, reducing the cost to the user and minimizing the raw ceramic material required to support production. These are all features that make this material an ideal solution for the automotive market.
FAQ
Was sind die Vorteile des Einsatzes von LO-MASS® Brennhilfsmitteln in der DPF-, Filter- und Substratherstellung?
Beschäftigung LO-MASS® Komponenten bei der Befeuerung von Dieselpartikelfiltern (DPF) und Automobilsubstraten können die Kosten deutlich senken. LO-MASS® Komponenten erhöhen die Produktivität bei der DPF-, Filter- und Substratherstellung und reduzieren gleichzeitig den Energieverbrauch; während die Produktion dünner, leichter Platten und Profile für eine effizientere Nutzung des Ofens und maximalen Kostenvorteil pro Ofeneinheit sorgt.
Seine hohe mechanische Festigkeit bei hohen Temperaturen ermöglicht eine hohe Anzahl von Filtern pro Platte und bietet die Möglichkeit, ein energiesparendes System zu entwickeln.
LO-MASS®-Komponenten bieten nicht nur eine höhere Festigkeit und Leistung, sondern auch die Nachhaltigkeit, die jedes Unternehmen anstrebt. Saint-Gobain Performance Ceramics & Refractories ist branchenweit führend in der Entwicklung von Siliziumcarbid-Werkstoffen, die bei höheren Temperaturen oxidationsbeständig sind.
Brennhilfsmittel zur Verwendung bei der Herstellung von DPF, Filtern und Substraten basieren hauptsächlich auf Advancer®, N-Dauer® or Hexoloy® Materialien. Diese Produkte bieten eine hervorragende Leistung und chemische Beständigkeit gegenüber dem gebrannten Produkt.
Die Ingenieure von Saint-Gobain Performance Ceramics & Refractories nutzen die Leistungsfähigkeit der kundenspezifischen Analysesoftware KilnWorks®, um Brennhilfsmittel zu entwerfen und zu entwickeln, die ideal auf die spezifische Anwendung des Kunden zugeschnitten sind.
Wenn man die Wahl zwischen traditionellen und LO-MASS® Brennhilfsmitteln hat, sind LO-MASS® Siliziumcarbidkomponenten die offensichtliche Wahl.
