ZIBO, China — May 2026
The 2026 China (Zibo) International Advanced Ceramics Exhibition officially opened at Zibo International Convention and Exhibition Center, gathering nearly 300 companies from across the advanced ceramics industry chain.
For Kegu, the exhibition was more than a business event.
For many team members, it was also a journey back to where their ceramic dreams began.
As a graduate of Shaanxi University of Science & Technology (SUST), our engineer reflected on how a seemingly ordinary ceramics laboratory course in 2020 eventually led him into the world of advanced silicon carbide materials.
“Back then, we spent countless hours preparing samples, sintering ceramics, and analyzing failures. At the time it felt repetitive. Today I realize those experiments planted the seed that brought me here.”
Advanced Ceramics Continue Expanding into High-Tech Industries
The exhibition showcased the latest developments in:
- Structural ceramics
- Electronic ceramics
- Semiconductor materials
- Aerospace ceramics
- Medical ceramics
- New energy applications
As demand continues to rise in:
- AI computing
- 5G communication
- Electric vehicles
- Semiconductor manufacturing
advanced ceramic materials are becoming increasingly important for thermal management, wear resistance, and precision manufacturing.
Growing Interest in Silicon Carbide Components
At the Kegu booth, visitors showed strong interest in:
One recurring question attracted particular attention:
"Can silicon carbide plates be reduced from 3 mm thickness to 0.3 mm?"
Although technically challenging, the question highlights an important market trend:
Demand is shifting from standard products toward thinner, lighter, and higher-performance ceramic components.
Industry Expectations Are Moving Faster
According to discussions with customers and equipment manufacturers during the exhibition:
The market is increasingly demanding:
- Higher precision
- Longer service life
- Better thermal performance
- More customized ceramic solutions
Instead of simply purchasing ceramic components, customers are seeking engineering partners capable of supporting:
- Material selection
- Structural optimization
- Failure analysis
- Process improvement
Strong Presence of SUST Alumni Across the Ceramic Industry
The exhibition also became an unexpected reunion for many graduates of Shaanxi University of Science & Technology.
From material suppliers to equipment manufacturers, SUST alumni were found throughout the industry.
The encounter reinforced a shared understanding:
The ceramic industry continues to evolve, but the spirit of innovation and engineering remains unchanged.
Looking Ahead
For Kegu, the exhibition reinforced a clear message:
The future of advanced ceramics will be driven not only by material performance, but also by innovation, customization, and engineering support.
As the demand for silicon carbide solutions continues to grow, Kegu remains committed to developing:
