Technical Ceramics
The group of industrial materials referred to as technical ceramics consists of oxides, carbides, and combination ceramics which are reinforced. Technical ceramics have a number of properties which makes them popular for machining parts used in various industries. The hard refractive quality of technical ceramics means that they are both resistant to abrasion and excellent abrasives, thus they make effective spacers, grinding plates and other parts. Their superior heat resistance also makes them useful in high temperature applications.
Machining made from Technical Ceramics
Technical ceramics such as Alumina, Steatite, Silicon Carbide and Fused Silica are used to make a variety of standard machining components, including nozzles, tubes, guides and more. The advantage of manufacturing machining out of technical ceramics is that the final product requires no hard tooling for creating the necessary finish, and thus ceramic machining is less costly and time-consuming to produce, and is more affordable than machining made from certain other materials.
