Technical Ceramics
MWDT both injection molds and machines/grinds advanced ceramics for extreme environments — and because we make our own feedstocks for injection molding, we can customize density, porosity, and composition to your application.
Core Ceramic Materials
- Alumina (Al₂O₃) and high-purity alumina
- Aluminum nitride
- Y-TZP Zirconia, Mg-PSZ Zirconia, and Zirconia Toughened Alumina (ZTA)
- Silicon nitride (Si₃N₄) and silicon carbide (SiC)
FurnaSure™ Ceramic Foam
FurnaSure™ is a SiOC-based ceramic foam, coated with a thin, durable alumina layer that reduces particle shedding while maintaining the thermal-shock resistance of the foam core.
With thermal conductivity as low as 0.034 W/m·K, very low density (0.15 g/cc), and a maximum rating of 1290°C, FurnaSure™ withstands rapid −200°C to 1200°C transitions and is easily machinable into custom tiles, saggers, and kiln furniture — engineered for industrial and scientific furnace insulation, kiln furniture, and process-chamber applications.
Ovens insulated with FurnaSure™ can achieve ramp rates two to four times faster than traditional furnaces insulated with firebrick and conventional refractory materials. These accelerated heating cycles enable manufacturers to increase production throughput and fire significantly more product in less time.
Additionally, FurnaSure™’s ultra-low thermal conductivity and thermal mass dramatically reduce the energy required to heat and cool the furnace, delivering energy savings of 50% or more per kiln or furnace cycle.
