From catalyst substrates and DPF cores to oxygen sensors, EV battery R&D fixtures and brake-system test rigs — automotive specifies ceramics in volume, with tight tolerance and unforgiving cost pressure. Anderman supplies the cordierite, SiC, zirconia and alumina components OEMs and tier-1s rely on, in both UK and French production.
Tens of thousands of pieces per month at micron-scale repeatability, with PPAP-style documentation and dimensional control built into the production route — not bolted on for inspection.
Catalyst-converter substrates, DPF cores, oxygen-sensor electrolytes, NOx sensors and EV-battery test fixtures all sourced from one specifier — fewer suppliers, fewer change-control cycles.
Direct experience supplying tier-1 automotive component manufacturers in the UK, Germany and France — including the documentation, audit and APQP expectations that come with that customer base.
Three-way catalysts, GPF and DPF cores are extruded from cordierite (and SiC where thermal load and ash management demand it). Cordierite’s near-zero expansion lets a substrate survive cold start to 900 °C exhaust pulse without cracking. Anderman supplies cordierite raw material, formed substrates and the specialist refractory shapes used in catalyst manufacture.
Yttria-stabilised zirconia is the dominant electrolyte chemistry for oxygen sensors and lean-NOx sensors. Alumina substrates carry heater traces in lambda sensors, ECU control modules and ignition systems. AlN is specified for power-electronics substrates in inverters and DC-DC converters.
EV battery development relies on ceramic separators, thermal-runaway barriers, alumina-coated foils and high-temperature test fixtures. Anderman supplies the alumina and zirconia tooling used in cell R&D and qualification — plus AlN substrates for traction-inverter modules.
Brake friction-pair development, clutch material testing and CMC brake research all use ceramic test specimens and high-temperature fixtures. Anderman supplies SiC and dense alumina samples and the kiln-furniture grades that support pad and disc R&D.
