Choose the grade the application has to survive
Alumina for insulation and structure, zirconia for wear, silicon carbide for extreme temperature, silicon nitride for strength at temperature under thermal cycling.
Al₂O₃
Alumina
Alumina is the workhorse of industrial ceramics: high purity and high strength with excellent electrical insulation, and it holds its shape and surface at the temperatures used in photovoltaic, instrumentation and power equipment.
High purity gradesHigh mechanical strengthExcellent electrical insulation
Material detailsZrO₂
Zirconia
Zirconia combines high strength with wear resistance and a fine ground finish, which makes it the material of choice where a ceramic part has to survive abrasion, impact and repeated mechanical duty.
High strength and toughnessWear resistantFine ground surface
Material detailsSiC
Silicon Carbide
Silicon carbide is selected for the most demanding thermal and abrasive duty: high-temperature service, thermal shock and aggressive wear, where few other materials hold their properties.
Very high service temperatureThermal shock resistanceExtreme abrasion resistance
Material detailsSi₃N₄
Silicon Nitride
Silicon nitride keeps high strength at elevated temperature together with thermal shock resistance and low weight, which suits moving parts, high-speed duty and thermally cycled equipment.
High strength at temperatureThermal shock resistanceLow density
Material detailsCustom engineered ceramics
When no catalogue form fits, the part is engineered from your drawing
Grade and formulation, geometry, tolerance, surface finish and inspection are agreed against the operating conditions, then proven on a sample part before batch production is released.
