Sapphire · Product form
Sapphire Ceramic Component
I have a ceramic part drawing. Who can press, sinter and diamond grind it to tolerance?
What it is
Machined or near-net ceramic part made to a drawing: radome, nose cone, seal face, bearing, nozzle or bracket. Almost always finished by diamond grinding after firing, because sintering shrinkage is too large to hold tolerance directly.
- Typical dimensions
- Made to the part; envelope limited by press and kiln size.
- Also known as
- ceramic part, radome, nose cone, seal face, custom ceramic
