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.

More resistant to deforming due to high and fluctuating temperatures than most other ceramics, add this mullite powder to a slurry to create crucibles, ladles, and other parts by casting them.

Made of nearly pure silicon carbide, these sheets resist creep more than other ceramics and are consistently strong throughout, so they won’t sag under heavy loads at high temperatures. Because they withstand extreme temperatures, they’re often used as kiln furniture and machined into structural furnace components.

Sintering creates strong inner bonds, making this version of silicon carbide more resistant to wear and chemicals than other forms of silicon carbide as well as most ceramics.

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.

Create bushings and other parts that will be exposed to abrasion, harsh chemicals, high heat, and rubbing with these rods. Sintering strengthens the bonds within silicon carbide, leaving it two times stronger than other versions of silicon carbide.

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.

Often used as a protective shield in thermocouples and other conditions with drastic climate changes, these SiAlON ceramic tubes won't deform, expand, or crack when repeatedly exposed to large temperature changes.
