HUH-CUH – High purity Hafnium Oxide extrusions

  What is Hafnia? (HfO2, or Hafnium Oxide)? Hafnia is the fully oxidized compound of Hafnium (formula HfO2), which is related to Titanium and Zirconium in the periodic table.  Hafnium is the first element after the rare earth family, and precedes the Noble metals...

High purity crushable Aluminum Oxide extrusions

INTRO:  Alumina crushable insulators are used in place of MgO insulators for specific applications, normally in Aerospace or Nuclear industries.  The endgame is to achieve a compacted powder insulation which retains it’s insulation properties even when the cable is...

Grade FUS – Fused Silica Crushable Insulators

INTRODUCING –  Crushable Fused Silica cores Fused Silica is fundamentally pure silicon dioxide in amorphous form. It is made by heating suitable sands or crystalline quartz to melting temperature and quenching before crystalline rearrangement can occur. There...

High Density Magnesium Oxide GRADE HRM

Introduction:  MgO ceramics have uses in extremely corrosive metallurgical applications because of the superior properties of MgO to resist attack.  In most applications of this nature, a high density body is preferred for better mechanical properties and resistance....

Grade SPN Spinel crushable insulators

INTRODUCING –  Crushable Spinel cores Spinel is the mineral name associated with an equimolar composition of  MgO and Al2O3, resulting in a formula of MgAl2O4.  The name is associated with many derivative and substitution compounds and defines a major...

Hard fired Insulators

INTRO:  Hard fired ceramic insulators are used to make rigid thermocouples for high temperature service.   The insulator should have good mechanical properties and is commonly used without a sheath or external protection tube.  It also needs good thermal shock...
