You may have heard the term "white graphite" used in the manufactured ceramics industry. If so, then you're already familiar with the material known as boron nitride ceramic or simply boron nitride.

Not all Hexoloy is the same. Like any engineered ceramic, it can be enhanced with specific properties tailored to your application. There are four primary grades of Hexoloy, all with their own attributes that make them beneficial to specific use-cases.

Refractory bricks (bricks that do not decompose due to high heat or pressure) are an integral component of any large-scale kiln or furnace operation. These bricks are important because they are used to line the interior of furnaces and kilns

In certain situations, a conventional material like metal (even the notably durable tungsten carbide) or ceramic can withstand the rigors that they are put through. However, there is a way to engineer what is referred to as an “advanced ceramic”

Industrial engineers and anyone in the business of manufacturing understand the importance of consistency. Quality control is everything in these sectors. One of the biggest quality control hurdles in industrial manufacturing is temperature. How do you sustain a specific temperature?

There is much you can say about the advanced ceramics industry. It's a subject we love to talk about. As experts in the field, we can get as technical as anyone. However, it's also important to be able to explain

High-temperature ceramic tubes are an engineering marvel. They’re typically used in specific production processes that require a hardy material that can withstand materials that would degrade or even destroy tubing made from more conventional materials.

Hexoloy might have a name that seems like it’s been ripped straight out of a science fiction novel but it’s a real substance with plenty of applications in the real world. In the ceramic materials industry, it’s especially useful as
