Custom-made Ceramic
and Glass Components
Defense
Although we cannot discuss some of the materials and components we supply, some non-classified examples include:
- Ultra-flat silicon carbide mirror blanks, the material being chosen for its stiffness, lightweight and ability to take a good polish
- High-strength, high shock-resistant ceramic components
- Parts for a reference standard - this was made from zero thermal expansion material so that the calibration did not drift with temperature change
- Ceramic armor components - the normal materials for this application are alumina and silicon carbide
- MACOR® components to hold fiber optics
