Improving Ceramic Component Performance

The OEM ceramic parts Ceramco manufactures are found in service applications throughout the world, even in locations off this world. They are found in so many different applications because they are fulfilling performance requirements not achieved by other materials. Even so, there are applications in which Ceramco’s OEM ceramic parts must do even more. These performance enhancements are (sometimes) achieved via metallizing and/or plating and in other instances by applying a coating of ceramic glaze. Reasons to add a glazed coating to a OEM ceramic part include:

Matching the Glaze Coating to Both the Application and the Ceramic Formulation

Determining the correct glaze coating for OEM ceramic parts requires the merging of disciplines. Ceramco’s expert materials formulation, in concert with our knowledge and experience in powder metallurgy, provides our customers with many already existing and proven ceramic formulations and glaze combinations. Materials Ceramco already glazes include our alumina formulations: A998, A96, and A9468. When a OEM ceramic part's specification requires an equally custom glaze coating, Ceramco collaborates with the customer to develop that coating, just as we do to develop custom powder blends. Current glazing properties and basic properties include:

All of Ceramco's glaze CTE (coefficient of thermal expansion) is matched to adhere with our material lines. The process itself is a part of quality assurance for consistently achievable OEM ceramic parts performance, order after order.

People Making it Happen

Making a great OEM ceramic part even better does not only apply to Ceramco’s glaze coatings. Making ceramic parts better is why Ceramco is among those manufacturers considered world class. The skill and dedication of our workers and their commitment to the customer and their order is why Ceramco is one of the very best in the elite group.
