As fracture resistant and durable as metal, this temperature-resistant zirconia ceramic has been fired to obtain a high hardness and can be used in high-wear applications.

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.

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.
