breakthrough materials
Smarterial deploys CheomdanLab advanced ceramics across Europe — high-performance Si₃N₄ components for electric mobility, aerospace and semiconductors.
The sector challenge
The electric transition exposes the limits of traditional materials
Steel bearings vulnerable in EV motors
Steel bearings are susceptible to electric corrosion in EV/HEV motors. Each failure leads to significant maintenance costs and the risk of breakdown under operating conditions.
Incompatible with EV lifetime requirements
Traditional bearings require polluting lubricants and regular maintenance, incompatible with the lifespan requirements of electric vehicles and reduced-maintenance objectives.
Europe seeks reliable Si₃N₄ sources
Post-COVID scarcity of advanced materials is creating supply chain tensions. Europe is searching for reliable alternative sources of Si₃N₄ to secure its e-mobility supply chain.
The solution
CheomdanLab manufactures high-purity silicon nitride (Si₃N₄) components for critical applications. Its silicon recycling technology reduces production costs and carbon footprint. Si₃N₄ ceramic bearings resist electric corrosion, require no lubricant, and last 3 to 5 times longer than steel.
