Alumina
Al₂O₃For electrically insulating, wear-resistant and high-temperature ceramic components. Geometry, grade, edge condition and tolerance are reviewed from the drawing.
Review capability →Oxide ceramics
Zirconia
ZrO₂A high-toughness technical ceramic option for compact, wear-sensitive components. Threads, thin walls and mating surfaces require drawing review.
Review capability →Nitride ceramics
Aluminum Nitride
AlNFor electrically insulating components where thermal performance is important. Moisture protection, metallization and flatness requirements are reviewed per application.
Review capability →Nitride ceramics
Silicon Nitride
Si₃N₄A technical ceramic for demanding wear and mechanical-duty components. Grade, surface integrity and inspection requirements are reviewed before manufacture.
Review capability →Carbide ceramics
Silicon Carbide
SiCFor corrosion- and wear-sensitive components. Blank grade, porosity, sealing surfaces and edge control require application review.
Review capability →Nitride ceramics
Boron Nitride
BNA machinable ceramic option for selected thermal and electrical applications. Grade and environment compatibility require engineering review.
Review capability →Machinable glass ceramics
Macor® Machinable Glass Ceramic
Machinable glass ceramicAn efficient choice for complex ceramic prototypes and small batches where conventional cutting is beneficial. Final geometry and use conditions are reviewed.
Review capability →Quartz, sapphire & crystals
Fused Quartz
SiO₂For precision quartz components requiring controlled geometry and surface condition. Stress, transparency and cleanliness requirements are evaluated from the drawing.
Review capability →Material selection note
For ceramics, blank grade, sintering condition, edge tolerance and surface integrity can change the machining route. For metals, grade, temper, heat treatment and finishing requirements should be defined before quotation.
