FAQs

Your questions answered

What forms are blanks available in?

Rods, discs and plates in a range of ceramic grades, available from stock in multiple diameters and lengths — priced by the inch for straightforward ordering.

Which materials are best for diamond machining?

Alumina and zirconia are widely machined with diamond tooling for precision components. Boron nitride and aluminium nitride are especially easy to machine — common choices for aerospace, semiconductor and high-temperature components.

Are nitride blanks available?

Yes. Highly machinable boron nitride and aluminium nitride blanks are stocked for use in high-performance industries including aerospace and semiconductors.

Can you supply high-strength blanks?

Yes. High-strength blanks are available for ultra-tough, high-wear applications — alongside standard grades for general precision machining.
