Component Supply’s ceramic machine screws are available in thread sizes down to #0-80 and are manufactured from 99.8% dense aluminum oxide (Alumina A998) using low-pressure injection molding.
Alumina ceramic offers excellent stiffness, chemical resistance, electrical insulation, corrosion resistance, and high-temperature performance up to 2000°C.
Non-magnetic and biocompatible, these ceramic fasteners are ideal for medical, laboratory, electronics, and high-temperature applications where metal hardware may not be suitable. Their low thermal expansion and abrasion resistance also make them a reliable choice for precision assemblies.
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. Component Supply seeks to assist researchers and product designers in determining the best products for their specific applications. While we do provide some information regarding the potential applications of our products, often there are many more possibilities. Therefore, if you do not see a description for an application that suits your needs, please contact one of our representatives who can give you further information about this product and others that might aid your project.
