因为过程安全是医疗技术的关键

牙科技术中的新材料为高要求的任务提供了工具。因为在医疗过程中，即使使用难以加工的材料，也必须始终保证安全性和准确性。

在医疗技术领域，对工具组件的要求尤其复杂。微创手术和纳米技术材料开发等新的治疗方法总是需要新的创新。

例如，现在越来越多的材料被用于牙科植入物，但这些材料也越来越难以切割，在这些最具挑战性的应用中，可以使用稳定的热稳定性和恒定的横向断裂强度。我们的碳化钨已经显著延长了牙科技术中使用的加工工具的使用寿命。

义齿应该感觉自然，同时保证最高水平的功能。一种名为氧化锆的高性能陶瓷能够满足这些要求。这种材料被认为是相当于钢的陶瓷，具有高断裂韧性、横向断裂和拉伸强度。现在，由于材料的耐磨性，氧化锆对相关机床提出了重大挑战。为了使加工更加经济，开发了由碳化钨制成的特殊铣刀，其特点是具有最佳的几何形状和特殊的金刚石涂层。

通过与客户的密切合作，我们开发出了一种非常适合金刚石涂层的碳化物。少量额外的碳化物和优化的钴含量确保了粘合强度。颗粒尺寸的选择使金刚石层能够牢固地固定在基底上。

Because process safety is the essential thing in medical technology
New materials in dental technology provide tools for demanding tasks. Because safety and accuracy must always be guaranteed during a medical procedure – even with materials that are difficult to machine.
 
In the field of medical technology, the requirements for tool components are particularly complex. New treatments such as minimally invasive surgery and material developments in nanotechnology always require new innovations.
 
For example, more materials are now being used for dental implants, but these are also increasingly more difficult to cut.  Only an excellent tungsten carbide with an exceptionally even structure, consistent thermal stability and a constant transverse rupture strength may be used in these most challenging applications.  Our tungsten carbide has already significantly extended the service life of machining tools used in dental technology.
 
Dentures should feel natural while guaranteeing the highest level of functionality.  A high-performance ceramic called zirconium oxide has been able to meet these requirements.  The material is considered to be the ceramic equivalent of steel, with a high fracture toughness and transverse rupture and tensile strength.  Now, due to the abrasiveness of the material, zirconium oxide is presenting major challenges for the associated machine tools.  To make machining more economical, special milling tools made of tungsten carbide have been developed, characterized by optimal geometries and special diamond coatings.
 
Working in close cooperation with our customers, we have developed a carbide that is outstandingly well-suited to diamond coating.  Adhesion strength is ensured by a small number of additional carbides and optimized cobalt content.  The selection of particle size allows the diamond layer to securely anchor the substrate.
