Ceramics in the Science Industry

The use of technical ceramics in extreme environments is well known. Some of the most demanding applications are at the cutting edge of scientific research where ceramics function in ultra-high vacuum providing electrical insulation whilst undergoing bombardment by high magnetic fields, radioactive environments or cryogenic temperatures.

The ability of technical ceramics to survive and deliver consistent performances across a range of research from the latest fusion science to advanced particle physics, high energy lasers and cryogenic research shows the scope and capability of the materials we offer.

We provide custom ceramic components and precision machining services tailored specifically for scientific research applications, supporting both prototype development and small-to-medium batch production.

Key Applications

Used in vacuum systems, optical mounts, ion traps, spectrometers, lasers, and precision gyroscopes.Stable, insulating, high-precision ceramic components for demanding research applications.

  • Ultra-high vacuum (UHV) compatibility
  • Low thermal expansion and thermal stability
  • Electrical insulation at high temperature
  • Non-magnetic and non-outgassing requirements
  • Tight tolerances for complex geometries
