These durable ceramic machine screws are available in thread sizes down to #0-80 and possess the stiffness and rigidity of a monolithic ceramic. Ceramic screws are produced using low pressure injection molded ceramics utilizing a 99.8% fully dense aluminum oxide (Alumina A998). Non-magnetic Alumina is chemically inert and resistant to abrasions, thermal conductivity and electrical conductivity. These qualities as well as biocompatibility make these screws a beneficial option for medical and laboratory applications. These fasteners also have excellent insulation qualities and are resistant to corrosion and high temperatures of up to 2000°C. They also possess a thermal expansion coefficient to efficiently match other materials surrounding them.
Ceramic products are commonly used in refractories, abrasives, instrumentation, bio-medical devices, coatings and other laboratory applications. Welding tools and heat treating equipment also utilize this material. They also are beneficial in applications needing non-magnetic material. Ceramic screws are found in medical lighting and certain instrumentation needed for heat and corrosion resistance.
