Custom ceramic components are available through Hi-Tech Seals. Hi-Tech Seals most popular ceramic materials are Zirconia compounds.

Zirconia ceramics benefits:

  • Excellent strength and high facture toughness
  • Surface finish from 2-4 microinch Ra
  • Thermal stability capable of tolerating thermal gradients better than many high temperature materials
  • Wear resistance in corrosive, abrasive and erosive environments

Applications:

  • Bearing & bushings
  • Fluid handling components
  • Pumps
  • Seals
  • Valves
  • Mechanical applications
