Material

Alumina (dense)

Al₂O₃

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

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

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 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

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

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

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

Zirconia

ZrO₂

High strength and toughness — the severe-duty mechanical ceramic. Stabilised forms operate to 2400 °C and resist aggressive metal and slag chemistries.

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

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

Alumina (porous)

Al₂O₃

Controlled-porosity aluminium oxide — engineered open or closed porosity for filtration, support media, gas diffusion and high-thermal-shock service.

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…
