Many buyers search for custom ceramic parts when a standard catalog item cannot fit their assembly. The part may need a special diameter, bore, step, slot, hole, tolerance, surface finish or material grade. HERUN helps turn drawings and samples into manufacturable ceramic components.
What Custom Ceramic Parts Can Be Made?
- Ceramic rods, pins, shafts, plungers and guide parts.
- Ceramic tubes, sleeves, bushings and insulating spacers.
- Custom ceramic rings, washers, seal faces and round parts.
- Alumina and zirconia parts for pumps, valves, furnaces, sensors and machinery.
From Drawing to Ceramic Part
The manufacturing route depends on size, shape, tolerance and quantity. A part may be formed, green machined, sintered, then diamond ground or polished. Ceramic shrinkage during sintering means the process must be planned before final precision finishing.
Material Choice
Alumina is common for insulation, temperature resistance and cost-effective wear. Zirconia is selected for tougher precision parts, polished sliding contact and reduced chipping risk. If the material is not decided, send the working condition and HERUN can suggest a practical option.
What Information Should Be on the Drawing?
- Critical OD, ID, length, thickness and hole dimensions.
- Tolerance, surface finish and flatness where important.
- Chamfer or radius requirements to reduce edge damage.
- Quantity, inspection requirement and application environment.
