Resource Center

Describe a little about the resource center and what customers would get from some of the articles and content here. I think 3-5 good sentences would be sufficient here. We can also use a call to action buttons in this section like you’ll see below.

If there is enough content for two paragraphs that could be great as well. If you have any specific quetions or you’d like to speak with someone directly please click the buttons below.

Common Waste Heat Recovery Systems

Producing enough heat to power a furnace or kiln requires a tremendous amount of energy. As we all know, energy isn't cheap, and wasting heat energy means that you're ultimately wasting money. Building heat recovery into your production process doesn't just make good environmental sense, it gets the most bang out of your buck.

Common Industrial Thermocouple Errors

The furnace found on a production line may operate in a similar way to the oven in your home but they rely on a much smaller margin of error. While a home oven is typically off by at least 25-50°F, most industrial furnaces, ovens, and kilns need to be much more precise.

Everything You Need to Know About Hexoloy

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 a high-performance, highly durable material.

Understanding High-Temperature Ceramic Tubes

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.

Tips and Tricks

Why You Should Use Alumina Ceramic Labware

In laboratories, nothing is an afterthought, even the trays, and containers that hold lab materials. In many cases, lab and medical engineers need labware durable enough to hold up to high-stress environments and hold material with properties unlike what most of us are used to.

Understanding Advanced Ceramics in Industrial Applications

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 the process of advanced ceramics in a way understandable to people outside of the industry.

What Are Roller Kilns & Industrial Ceramic Rollers?

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?

What Are Alumina Ceramic Tubes?

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” that takes on enhanced properties that are especially suited for extreme environment

The Effectiveness of High Alumina Brick

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 due to their low thermal conductivity.

Identifying the 4 Hexoloy Grades & Their Properties

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.

Tips and Tricks

The Electrical Properties of Ceramics

One of the reasons technical ceramics are so versatile is due to their adaptability as a material. Different ceramics bring with them different properties, which makes one better than another depending on the application.

Tips and Tricks

The Importance of Custom-Machined Ceramics

Custom technical ceramics are part of a larger custom machined ceramic industry that has become increasingly more important in the last two decades. As ceramic machining becomes more sophisticated, so too do the applications that they can be used in.

A Comprehensive Guide to Boron Nitride In Ceramics

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.

Tips and Tricks

Guide to Picking the Right Kiln Shelf | Material & Sizing

Anytime you're working with a kiln to fire ceramic you'll need to select the right size and material for your kiln shelving. A kin shelf needs to meet the thermal requirements of your process, among other things.

Tips and Tricks

Everything You Need to Know About Kiln Shelf Maintenance

Maintaining your kiln furniture is one of those most overlooked but important aspects to ensuring the longevity of your kiln. It also ensures that your production runs smoothly. While it’s tempting to ignore the shelves inside of your kiln it will catch up to you eventually and end in a ruined product.

Boron Nitride Grades: What They Are & Why They Matter

Boron Nitride is a versatile substance that can be used for many things from lubrication of machine parts, to creating advanced ceramics (what we use it for), and even in the cosmetics industry
