Custom Ceramic Components
from Your Drawing, Sample or
Duty Conditions
A ceramic component is a functional part made from technical ceramic — alumina, zirconia, silicon carbide, silicon nitride, ZTA, aluminum nitride, boron nitride or metallized ceramic — produced to a drawing, an existing part or a stated duty. ADCERAX supplies custom ceramic parts as single items, matched sets and ceramic-containing assemblies, with material, geometry, finishing and inspection agreed before quotation.
What is a Ceramic Parts
Ceramic components are functional, engineered parts made from technical ceramics that serve a defined role within an assembly—such as wear control, electrical insulation, sealing interfaces, or dimensional stability under heat and chemicals.
In engineering usage, ceramic parts are specified by system-level function and performance requirements (duty conditions, tolerances, surface finish, and material grade) to ensure reliable, repeatable operation in industrial equipment.

Ceramic Parts & Component Properties
Ceramic parts deliver stable performance where metals drift or wear. High hardness and low wear support longer service life, while heat and chemical resistance reduce deformation and corrosion in harsh duty.
Alumina Ceramic Parts
Alumina covers electrical insulation, furnace fixtures and general wear. Grade and purity decide both the cost and the result, so the grade is named on the inquiry rather than assumed.

| Water absorption | %, selection limit | ≤0.01 | ≤0.05 | ≤0.10 | ≤0.10 | ~0 |
Zirconia Ceramic Parts
Zirconia is chosen when the part is hit, dropped or loaded through a corner, and when the fit must hold under that load. The stabilizer system decides how it behaves over service life.
| Property | Unit / Condition | 3Y-TZP AD-ZRO-3Y | Mg-PSZ AD-ZRO-MG | Ca-PSZ AD-ZRO-CA |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Stabilizer system | Nominal basis | Y₂O₃, ~3 mol% | MgO stabilized | CaO stabilized |

| Thermal conductivity | W/(m·K), 20°C | 3 | 2.5 | 2 |
Silicon Carbide Ceramic Parts
Silicon carbide covers abrasive slurry, hot gas and thermal transfer. The route — reaction-bonded or pressureless-sintered — changes porosity, strength and price more than the grade name suggests.
| Property | Unit / Condition | Reaction-Bonded AD-SIC-RB | Pressureless-Sintered AD-SIC-SS |

| Application-temperature ceiling | °C, initial selection | 1380 | 1600 |
Silicon Nitride Ceramic Parts
Silicon nitride is selected for parts that move — rollers, shaft sleeves and tooling under cyclic load. Low density and thermal-shock tolerance justify the cost; thermal conductivity is low, so it is not used to spread heat.
| Property | Unit / Condition | Structural Ceramic AD-SIN-ST |
|---|---|---|
| Bulk density | g/cm³, typical | 3.2 |
| Flexural strength | MPa, typical | 700 |
| Fracture toughness, K<sub>IC</sub> | MPa·m½, method-dependent | 6.5 |
| Rockwell hardness | HRA, typical | 92–94 |
| Apparent porosity | vol% | <0.3 |
| Poisson’s ratio | — | 0.25 |
| Thermal conductivity | W/(m·K) | 20 |
Material selection depends on the full part design, including geometry, load, temperature, media, electrical or thermal function, surface finish and inspection requirements. Use this table as a starting route; the final material is confirmed during engineering review.

Where Custom Ceramic Parts Fit in Equipment
Ceramic components sit where a metal part has reached its limit: wear, heat, electrical isolation, chemical attack or dimensional stability. Each position below names the parts that usually go there and what the drawing has to carry.
Motion, Guiding & Locating
Guide pins, locating rings, jigs, robot-arm fingers and ceramic screws. Define mating fits, datums and loaded contact faces on the drawing.
Furnace and thermal support
Kiln plates, beams, hooks, setters and wafer boats. Support points, span, load and heating cycle shape the design more than the peak temperature alone.
Electrical isolation and thermal interfaces
Insulating rings, frames, chucks, relay housings and metallized bodies. The insulation path, the heat path and the mounting have to be defined together — changing one changes the others.
Flow control and media contact
Nozzles, seal rings, valve discs and honeycomb bodies. Passage geometry and the exposed surfaces must match the medium, its concentration and the pressure it runs at.

FAQs About Ceramic Components & Parts
Technical answers to help you specify, source, and use alumina ceramic parts effectively.
Choose by dominant failure mode.
- Alumina (Al₂O₃): Offers a cost-performance balance for insulation, wear, and chemical stability in many industrial duties and is commonly considered for general precision ceramic parts.
- Zirconia (ZrO₂): Provides higher toughness and impact tolerance for fit-critical components where chipping risk is a concern.
- Silicon carbide (SiC): Is considered for abrasive wear and many corrosive or thermal environments where stiffness and thermal stability matter.
- Silicon nitride (Si₃N₄): Provides high strength and fatigue resistance for dynamic mechanical components and motion-related parts.
Share the media, temperature, pressure, particle conditions, and mechanical loading so the material options can be reviewed for the specific part.
Ceramic parts are first made as a “green body” by shaping ceramic powder with binders, then densified by debinding and high-temperature sintering. The green body can be formed by dry or isostatic pressing (simple blocks, rings, discs), extrusion (tubes, rods, profiles), injection molding (small, complex parts), or casting / 3D printing (special geometries). In practice, the choice of forming method is driven by part geometry, tolerances, and production volume, because these factors control tooling cost, unit price, and achievable precision.
Yes. ADCERAX can review machining requirements in the green state and after sintering using appropriate tooling and processes.
Operations may include grinding, drilling, slotting, lapping, and polishing, depending on the material, geometry, feature accessibility, surface requirements, and inspection method.
Send the drawing with the critical dimensions, tolerances, and surface-finish requirements so machinability can be reviewed for the specific part.
Achievable tolerances depend on material, part size, geometry, manufacturing route, feature accessibility, finish and inspection method. Mark critical features on the drawing so they can be reviewed for the specific part.
Send the drawing if available, the part function, critical dimensions and tolerances, surface-finish or flatness requirements, material preference, duty conditions, quantity, destination and required documents. If a drawing is not available, clear photos and the old part or sample information can start the review.
Yes. Clear photos, a sample or old-part information can be used to start a replacement review. Mating features, service conditions and critical dimensions still need to be confirmed before quotation and production.
The review connects material, geometry, quantity, finishing access and inspection. Pressing, extrusion, moulding, casting, additive or machining routes are considered where suitable for the actual part. The quotation states the proposed route and finished condition.
Yes. Machining, grinding, lapping or polishing can be specified for functional bores, slots, datums and mating faces. The proposed operations follow material, part state and tool access. Agree the fired or finished inspection state, tolerances, surface requirements and measurement setup for those features.
Use intact features, mating geometry and the required function to establish the replacement drawing. Mark the damaged area separately and identify the dimensions that control fit, contact or movement. The agreed drawing and inspection criteria then define the new part.
