Alumina

Macor Machinable Glass Ceramic is one of the most versatile and unique technical ceramics available and as you would expect from Corning’s principal, longest serving and highly-respected UK distributor, Precision Ceramics offers a complete, fast turnaround, research and development, design, prototyping and manufacturing service which is second to none! We’re also experts in Macor Machining and Metallization.

Precision Ceramics has introduced a new and exciting range of advanced ceramic tubes and insulators ideally suitable for thermocouple protection in high temperature measurement applications. The alumina-based tubes are used throughout many industries to aid monitoring the stability and performance of production processes especially those within hostile and aggressive chemical environments at temperatures up to 1,700°C. They are manufactured to DIN V ENV 12212 and are very strong, organically inert and well proven in a wide field of applications.

Alumina-Zirconia (ZTA) ceramic composites are unique ceramic materials by way of exhibiting a combination of high hardness, strength, wear and corrosion resistance characteristics to their alumina component while still maintaining reasonably high fracture toughness specific to its zirconia component.

Dubbed ‘ceramic steel’ Zirconia (ZrO2) ceramic materials offer a combination of high hardness, wear and corrosion resistance while still maintaining one of the highest figures for fracture toughness amongst ceramic materials. CeramaZirc Ultra Tough is an advanced zirconia-based ceramic composite material based on partially stabilised zirconia and alumina platelets and is the latest and toughest composite to be introduced by Precision Ceramics.
