Material

Silicon Nitride

Si₃N₄

High strength, lightweight industrial ceramic with exceptional hardness, fracture toughness, thermal shock resistance, and excellent corrosion resistance.

Material

Alumina

Aluminium oxide — the workhorse oxide ceramic. Hard, wear-resistant, electrically insulating, chemically inert and stable to 1750 °C. Densities and purities from…

Material

Mullite

3Al₂O₃·2SiO₂

Aluminosilicate ceramic stable to 1700 °C with low thermal expansion. A versatile workhorse for high-temperature service where thermal shock matters.

Material

Steatite

MgO·SiO₂

Cost-effective magnesium silicate insulator. Excellent dielectric strength and dimensional stability to 1000 °C — the volume-production choice for electrical insulation.

Material

Zirconia

ZrO₂

High strength industrial ceramic with excellent hardness properties, fracture toughness, and corrosion resistance.

Material

Silicon Carbide

SiC

Extreme thermal conductivity and shock resistance with non-wetting behaviour to molten metals — the high-performance choice for kiln furniture and melt-handling.

Material

Fused Silica

SiO₂

Near-zero thermal expansion and outstanding thermal-shock resistance. Porous electrofused silica handles repeated thermal cycling and direct molten-metal contact without preheating.

Material

Boron Nitride

BN

Self-lubricating, easily machined, non-wetting to molten metals. Hexagonal BN combines excellent electrical insulation with high thermal conductivity — "white graphite".

Material

Aluminium Nitride

AlN

High thermal conductivity electrical insulator. AlN approaches metal-level heat transfer while remaining dielectric — the specifier's choice for power-electronics substrates.

Material

Quartz

SiO₂

Chemically pure, optically clear, dimensionally stable. Fused quartz combines extreme hardness, low expansion and broad optical transmission from UV to IR.

Material

Aluminium Titanate

Al₂TiO₅

Excellent thermal-shock resistance and non-wetting to molten aluminium. Reaction-sintered Al₂TiO₅ removes the preheat step from non-ferrous casting.

Material

Cordierite

2MgO·2Al₂O₃·5SiO₂

Outstanding thermal-shock resistance from a very low expansion coefficient. The proven specification for kiln furniture and catalyst supports operating through rapid temperature…
