Engineered Technical Ceramics
- Engineered Technical Ceramics
Engineered Technical ceramics are advanced high-performance ceramic materials that possess exceptional mechanical, electrical, thermal, and chemical properties. They can be made from a variety of materials, including oxides, carbides, nitrides, and boride. These materials are designed and engineered to meet specific application requirements in a wide range of industries.
Fralock provides engineered technical ceramics fabricated with several different materials including alumina, glass, quartz, and aluminum nitride.
Structural Ceramics
Industrial structural ceramics are passive (non-electrified) advanced material ceramic components that are used in a variety of applications. Their resistance to wear, thermal stability, and resistance to corrosion make the application of ceramic components an ideal choice for many industrial uses, including thermal or electrical insulators.
