Products & Services
Carbides and Carbide Materials (Hardmetals)
Carbides and carbide materials (hardmetals) have excellent wear resistance and high hot hardness. They are binary compounds of carbon and an element of lower or comparable electronegativity.
Specialty Ceramics
Specialty ceramics include nitrides, borides, carbon, zirconia, rare earth oxide (REO) materials and silicides as well as other specialized non-metallic compounds.
Ceramic Powders and Precursors
Ceramic powders and precursors contain oxides, carbides, nitrides, carbon, and other non-metals. They are usually micron or mesh-size in distribution. Ceramic powders, sol-gel solutions and precursors are fabricated through atomization, crushing, milling, precipitation, and other chemical processes.
Ceramic Tube and Ceramic Rod Products
Ceramic tube and ceramic rod products are suitable for use in applications requiring high temperature strength, erosion resistance, electrical or thermal insulation, and other specialized characteristics.
