Market Drivers

Wide application of AlN materials
In addition to being used in electronic substrates, AlN materials can also be used in various fields such as heat exchangers, crucibles, protective tubes, casting molds, piezoelectric ceramics and films, and thermally conductive fillers. First of all, aluminum nitride ceramics have high thermal conductivity, low thermal expansion coefficient, excellent thermal conductivity, and thermal shock resistance, and can be used as ideal heat shock and heat exchange materials. The excellent thermal conductivity of the aluminum nitride material effectively improves the heat transfer capacity of the heat exchanger. For example, aluminum nitride ceramics can be used as heat exchanger materials for marine gas turbines and heat-resistant components for internal combustion engines. Secondly, AlN materials can also be used as heat-resistant materials. Since aluminum nitride has the characteristics of non-wetting with aluminum, calcium, and other metals, it can be used as a crucible, protective tube, casting mold, etc. Aluminum nitride can still have stable performance at 2000 ° C. It is an excellent high-temperature refractory material with strong resistance to molten metal erosion. In addition, aluminum nitride has excellent electrical insulation, high thermal conductivity, good dielectric properties, and good compatibility with polymer materials. It is an excellent additive for polymer materials in electronic products and can be used for TIM fillers and FCCL thermally conductive dielectric layer fillers, widely used in heat transfer media of electronic devices, thereby improving work efficiency. In general, the wide application of AlN materials is one of the driving factors driving the development of the industry.
