Ultra-Precision Ceramic Components for the Aerospace & Defense Industry
±0.001mm tolerance | High thermal stability | Extreme material reliability for mission-critical systems
In aerospace and defense engineering, material integrity, dimensional precision, and environmental resistance are vital to mission success. From satellites to jet engines to radar systems, technical ceramics are widely used in critical components that must endure extreme temperatures, corrosive atmospheres, rapid acceleration, and long-duration exposure without failure.
At our facility, we specialize in the custom machining of aerospace-grade ceramic components, achieving tolerances as tight as ±0.001mm and supporting international Tier-1 aerospace contractors and defense integrators.
Aerospace-Grade Ceramic Materials
We machine a wide range of technical ceramics including:
- Silicon Nitride (Si₃N₄) – high fracture toughness and thermal shock resistance
- Alumina (Al₂O₃) – stable at 1000°C+, electrically insulating
- Zirconia (ZrO₂) – exceptional strength under mechanical stress
- Macor® machinable glass ceramics – used in low-volume prototypes or space applications
- Boron Nitride, Mullite, and Steatite – used in specialized insulation or structural roles
These materials serve as ideal solutions where metals, polymers, or composites fail due to temperature, weight, or chemical exposure.
