To resist deforming, expanding, or cracking when compressed, bent, or exposed to quick temperature changes, these silicon-nitride ceramic discs have been pressed into ultra-dense discs. They’re just as strong and fracture resistant as zirconia ceramic, and hold their strength and shape at higher temperatures.

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

These zirconia ceramic balls contain yttria for compressive strength, so they won’t crack or lose shape when pushed together.

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.

Often used as a protective shield in thermocouples and other conditions with drastic climate changes, these SiAlON ceramic tubes won't deform, expand, or crack when repeatedly exposed to large temperature changes.
