Ceramic Rings

What are Ceramic Rings made of?

Industrial components (or machining) which are made from ceramics, such as ceramic rings and other standard parts, are made out of a category of ceramics referred to as ‘technical ceramics’, consisting mainly of oxides and carbides. These materials are formed under high heat and as a consequence, are naturally tempered for exposure to high temperatures. Ceramics rings are made from various technical ceramics, including Alumina, Silicon Carbide, Fused Silica and more.

Why Choose Ceramic Rings?

Many choose to use ceramic machining in industrial applications ranging from processing to manufacturing, as ceramics are not only able to cope with high temperatures but are also resistant to abrasion. Ceramics are used to produce spacers which are used to reduce friction between movable parts, guides which are used in pulley systems, and a great variety of other parts. Ceramics can be produced relatively affordably, as they do not require as much post-production finishing as other materials which need to be sanded, drilled, or have other processes performed on them.
