Custom Engineered Technical Ceramics

Technical ceramics are produced by mixing raw materials such as alumina, silica and dozens of other compounds and then sintered or heated in a controlled atmosphere, high temperature furnace until mixture becomes hard.

Variables in manufacturing specific ceramics products include different proportions of ingredients, sintering methods at various temperatures, heating duration and other procedures.

The final ceramics products have different properties of hardness, thickness, heat resistance and other numerous properties depending on the various elements of the process used.

Large Sheets of ceramics can be made to match specific requirements.

Some of the different materials available include:

• Silicon Carbide
• Cordierite
• Steatite
• Alumina
• Aluminum Nitride
• Sapphire
• Fused Silica
• Spinel
• Mullite
• Aluminum Oxynitride – AlON

Steps for Custom Technical Engineered Ceramics Parts:

• Choosing the right composition
• Choosing the right design
• Choosing the right finishing options
