Often used to create prototype components, these ceramic rods and discs come semi-fired so they can be machined using conventional metalworking tools.

Machine these rods into nozzles for acids, pins or supports for kilns, and other parts that require extreme hardness when exposed to quick temperature changes and chemicals. This nitride-bonded silicon carbide is better at transferring heat than most ceramics and expands without cracking when temperatures fluctuate.

As fracture resistant and durable as metal, this temperature-resistant zirconia ceramic has been fired to obtain a high hardness and can be used in high-wear applications.

Protectively sheath materials, such as thermocouples, that move between hot and cold environments. Similar to nonporous alumina tubes, air and gas cannot pass through these mullite tubes.

Ideal for applications that must resist bending and wear as well as carry heavy loads, these rods and discs are often used for sleeve bearings and shafts instead of metal.

Machine complicated shapes and precision parts from these glass-mica ceramic bars in a fraction of the time it would take using other types of fired ceramic.
