Turkish Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Below are some of the questions we are most often asked. If you can’t find the answer on this page, please feel free to contact us and we will be happy to answer it for you.
We provide a wide range of advanced technical ceramics, including:
- Alumina (Al2O3): Excellent hardness, insulation, affordability.
- Zirconia (ZrO2): High toughness, smooth finish, crack resistance.
- Silicon Nitride (Si3N4): High strength, thermal shock resistance.
- Alumina Nitride (AlN): Outstanding thermal conductivity, electrical insulation.
- Boron Nitride (BN): High-temperature insulation, dry lubricity.
- Silicon Carbide (SiC): Ultra-hard, corrosion-resistant.
- Beryllium Oxide (BeO): Noted for its outstanding thermal conductivity and electrical insulation.
- Machinable Glass Ceramic (MGC): Easily machined, ideal for prototyping and low-temp use.

If you’re unsure which material fits your application, our engineers will guide you through material selection.
Yes, we specialize in custom precision ceramic machining based on your 2D/3D drawings or physical samples.
We accept common file formats including STEP, IGES, DWG, DXF, and PDF.
Our general machining tolerances are:
- ±0.05 mm for most dimensions
- Up to ±0.002 mm for critical features (depending on geometry and material)
- Surface roughness can reach Ra < 0.02 µm upon request
Yes. Many of our ceramics exhibit:
- Excellent thermal stability (up to 1700°C or higher)
- Low thermal conductivity (or high, if needed)
- Vacuum compatibility with low outgassing
For example, AlN, Si₃N₄, and SiC are ideal for high-temp vacuum environments.
Absolutely. Most of our ceramics are excellent electrical insulators, including:
- Alumina and MACOR (high resistivity)
- Aluminum Nitride (thermal conductivity + electrical insulation)
If needed, we also provide ceramic metallization and brazing for electrical connectivity.
We support prototyping, low-volume, and mass production.
There is no strict MOQ for most projects, especially for custom parts.
Lead time depends on part complexity and quantity:
- Standard parts: 10–25 working days
- Custom complex machining: 3–6 weeks
We also provide expedited services for urgent projects.
Yes, we offer:
- Metallization (Mo/Mn, W, Ag, Ni layers)
- Active and non-active brazing
- Suitable for hermetic seals and electronic packages
We offer various finishing processes, including:
- Precision grinding
- Lapping and polishing
- Laser cutting and scribing
- Surface roughness options: down to Ra 0.1 µm
Yes. Our engineering team supports you from:
- Material selection based on operating conditions
- Tolerance balancing and cost optimization
- Design for manufacturability (DFM)
Our ceramics are widely used in:
- Semiconductor and electronics
- Aerospace and defense
- Medical and dental equipment
- Industrial machinery and automation
- Energy and environmental technologies
Yes, we have extensive experience in international trade, exporting to Europe, North America, Japan, and beyond.
We support EXW, FOB, DAP, and other incoterms, with English-language support and customs documentation.
We accept:
- Bank transfer (T/T)
- PayPal (for small or sample orders)
Yes. Upon request, we provide:
- Material datasheets / COA
- Dimensional inspection reports (CMM, 2D)
- Surface roughness, flatness, and density reports
We are based in Shenzhen, China, with fast access to ports and logistics hubs.
