Lightweight structures

Particularly high application-technical advantages result from the use of lightweight structures for optical systems

The lower density compared to metallic materials predestines silicon-based non-oxide ceramics for lightweight structures in the aerospace sector.  
Depending on the requirements profile, different ceramics based on silicon nitride, silicon carbide or carbon fiber-reinforced silicon carbide (C/C-SiC) are eligible.  
Particularly high application-technical advantages result from the use of lightweight structures for optical systems.
Precise mechanics with joints can also be realized at any time.
