Solution Overview

Problem

Ceramic substrates for electronic vaporization devices face a challenge in balancing compressive strength with porosity and e-liquid guiding rate, as increasing sintering temperature to enhance compressive strength often reduces porosity and e-liquid supply efficiency.

Innovation Solution

A ceramic substrate composition comprising 10-70 wt% silicon carbide, 6-60 wt% aluminum oxide, 5-45 wt% silicon dioxide, and 0-15 wt% glass powder, optimized to maintain or increase porosity and e-liquid guiding rate while improving compressive strength, using a specific sintering temperature and process to achieve desired thermal conductivity and bonding.
