| CAM-LEM, Inc. prototypes and manufactures high-integrity ceramic components using processes that eliminate the need for direct machining of ceramic material or hard tooling. Prototypes can be quickly and inexpensively produced, with changes to the geometry and material composition readily accommodated. |
Alumina is a widely used ceramic for applications requiring high temperature service up to 1500 degC, electrical insulation, or chemical resistance. We can also introduce controlled porosity to decrease weight and improve handling of thermal gradients and shock. |
Other ceramics available for use in our processes include zirconia,
zirconia-toughened alumina (ZTA), silica, and a variety of oxide and
non-oxide ceramics.
|
Silicon nitride is a high-performance ceramic with excellent wear and thermal
shock resistance, and with a toughness comparable to cast iron. It
is ideal for mechanical, structural, and fluid flow applications where erosion,
abrasion, mechanical shock, and extremely high temperature gradients are
present. |
| Ceramics formed via the CAM-LEM process can have:
* Complex geometry
|
Our green-cast components may have:
* Rapidly-prototyped molds
