The failure of plastic and metal parts in certain application environments is a common problem. While these parts sometimes can be replaced with another of similar materials, what most often cannot be changed is the cause for the failure itself: the application environment. The result is the eventual failure of the replacement and subsequent like replacements. Such failure/replacement cycles suggest it is time to consider a ceramic part not only as an alternative, but as a permanent solution.

When the part in question must resist wear and/or corrosion, or serve as an electrical insulator or thermal insulator, the unique properties of a ceramic part solve not one, but ALL of these application conditions. Ceramco’s alumina and zirconia materials knowledge combined with its engineering expertise and near-net shape manufacturing processes provide you a unique and often permanent solution.
