Often used to create bearings, silicon-nitride ceramic is harder than many types of bearing steel but is lightweight and can be easily polished. It also withstands high temperatures.

Often used to create prototype components, these ceramic rods and discs come semi-fired so they can be machined using conventional metalworking tools.

Ideal for applications that must resist bending and wear as well as carry heavy loads, these rods and discs are often used for sleeve bearings and shafts instead of metal.

Made of nearly pure silicon carbide, these sheets resist creep more than other ceramics and are consistently strong throughout, so they won’t sag under heavy loads at high temperatures. Because they withstand extreme temperatures, they’re often used as kiln furniture and machined into structural furnace components.

Extremely hard with excellent corrosion resistance, this silicon-carbide ceramic is often used for rubbing parts such as bearings and bushings in chemicalprocessing environments.

Over 99% pure, these rods have the strength of silicon carbide throughout, so they resist deforming under heavy loads at high temperatures (known as creep). They’re often used as supports in kilns.

Create bushings and other parts that will be exposed to abrasion, harsh chemicals, high heat, and rubbing with these rods. Sintering strengthens the bonds within silicon carbide, leaving it two times stronger than other versions of silicon carbide.

Protectively sheath materials, such as thermocouples, that move between hot and cold environments. Similar to nonporous alumina tubes, air and gas cannot pass through these mullite tubes.

Used in prototypes, insulators, and machine tooling, these mullite ceramic rods won’t deform or crack when exposed to extreme temperature changes, high heat, or stress.
