Future Material
Ceramic materials are inorganic and non-metallic. At Kläger, the shaping process used is injection molding. The components are subsequently debound and acquire their characteristic material properties through the sintering process at high temperatures. (Advanced ceramics)
Overview: Materials
The properties of the individual ceramic materials enhance the quality and performance of our customers’ products. At the same time, injection molding as a forming process enables reproducible, large-scale production with an attractive cost–performance ratio.
Aluminum oxid AI2O3
Aluminum oxide (Al₂O₃) is the most commonly used oxide ceramic. Thanks to its high mechanical strength, this high-performance ceramic is well suited for a wide range of forward-looking applications.
The chemical resistance and a stable, favorable cost–performance ratio make aluminum oxide (Al₂O₃ content ≥ 90% to >90%) the ideal material for many industries, ranging from mechanical engineering to medical technology.

Mixed Oxide Ceramics ZTA / ATZ
Mixed oxide ceramics refer to customized compositions, primarily based on aluminum oxide and zirconia. This allows a wide range of application-specific requirements to be met.
The predominance of one material or the other within the composite determines the final characteristics. At Kläger, we use the following compositions:

Zirconia ZrO2
Zirconia materials are characterized by high fracture toughness. At Kläger, we predominantly process partially stabilized (yttria-stabilized) zirconia in its tetragonal phase.
The material is gaining increasing importance, as it can be processed very reliably and offers excellent aesthetics and tactile qualities. Its applications range from surgical components to jewelry.

Silicon Nitride Si3N4
Silicon nitride belongs to the material group of nitrides. In technical ceramics, this material is considered high-end and exhibits properties that have so far been unrivaled.
Unlike oxide ceramics, non-oxide ceramics are sintered under high mechanical pressure and in a protective gas atmosphere. Silicon nitride is currently used primarily in probes and cutting tools.
Special material charcteristics of Silicon Nitride Si3N4
- Extremely high strength
- Very high toughness
- Excellent wear resistance
- Very low thermal expansion
- High thermal conductivity
- Outstanding thermal shock resistance
- Very good chemical resistance
Fields of application
- Probes
- Sealing elements
- Nozzles
- Cutting tools

SiMoMix MoSi2/Si3N4
SiMoMix is a combination of silicon nitride (Si₃N₄) enriched with an intermetallic phase of molybdenum disilicide (MoSi₂). Depending on the proportion of the additive, different levels of electrical conductivity can be achieved.
With SiMoMix, we offer the possibility to manufacture components from technical ceramics – with all the well-known ceramic-specific advantages and adjustable electrical conductivity – produced by injection molding, providing high design flexibility in an efficient, process-stable manufacturing method.
