Technical (advanced) ceramics, alumina, zirconia, silicon carbide, silicon nitride, and boron carbide, deliver properties impossible in metals: extreme hardness (8 to 9.5 Mohs), electrical insulation at high temperatures, resistance to thermal shock, and chemical inertness. Used where metals corrode, melt, or conduct electricity unacceptably.
Buyers across these industries post Ceramics RFQs daily.
More spec detail = faster, more accurate quotes from vendors.
Specify ceramic type and minimum purity, drives all properties and cost
Ceramics are brittle, design with generous radii and avoid sharp corners
Grinding is the only practical machining method for fired ceramics, plan tolerances and cost accordingly
Green machining (before sintering) is more economical for complex shapes, allow for ~20% shrinkage
