Ceramic Rods
Ceramic rods are solid, cylindrical products composed of ceramics. Ceramics, which are composed of clays and other naturally-occurring minerals or else created from chemically-processed powders, are formed into rods through a heating process. Ceramic rods are produced using a variety of processes including mixing, forming and firing at high temperatures. Ceramic rods are useful as an alternative for metal, plastic, or other material components in applications requiring temperature, corrosion and wear resistance. Ceramic rods are available in a wide range of sizes to meet the requirements of a particular application.
Ceramic rods offer many favorable attributes due to the inherent properties of ceramics. Highly arc and track resistant, ceramics are dimensionally stable at elevated temperatures, resisting burn. Ceramics are also able to resist heat, chemicals, weather, and bacteria without allowing them to affect their properties or alter their structure. Ceramics also offer dimensional stability and rigidity.
Ceramic rods have applications across many industries. They can be used as components in numerous situations in the filtering, refractory, appliances, automotive, motors, commercial lighting, and electrical control industries, among many others.
