We will provide proposals and consultations on all aspects, including price and delivery time.
[For those who think, "Ceramics are expensive because they are ceramics!"] *Characteristics of two types of ceramic materials: Alumina: High mechanical strength with resistance to corrosion and wear, but more expensive than steatite (about 1.5 times). Steatite: Good insulation properties and inexpensive. Commonly used in electrical and heating components. [Common examples] If a part designed for insulation can be sufficiently made from steatite, making it from alumina will naturally increase the cost. If a part is made from steatite for wear resistance simply because it is cheaper, it will wear out quickly, resulting in the need to produce more parts, ultimately increasing costs. *Choosing the right ceramic material based on application is the key to purchasing at a lower cost.

basic information
**What is Alumina?** A representative of oxide-based ceramics. It is stable in terms of physical properties and manufacturing technology, and is also inexpensive, making it the most widely used in industrial fields. It is particularly chemically stable, has high hardness, excellent insulation, and good balance of mechanical strength at room temperature. It is used as cutting tools, abrasives, and other structural materials. **What is Steatite?** Ceramics fired with talc as the main component. It has a pure white luster. It has a low dielectric constant and high mechanical strength. Due to its insulating properties at high temperatures, it is used in applications such as insulators for high-frequency use. **Alumina vs. Steatite** Alumina: High mechanical strength with resistance to corrosion and wear, but more expensive than steatite (about 1.5 times). Steatite: Good insulation and inexpensive. It is widely used in electrical and heater components. At our company, we would like to help our customers expand the applications of ceramics by providing proposals in all aspects, including price and delivery time. If you have questions like, "I want to use it this way, which ceramic is best?" or "Will it break?" or "Can this level of precision be achieved?" please feel free to consult with us.

Applications/Examples of results
**Examples of Alumina Usage** * We were troubled by the rapid wear of metal jigs, but switching to alumina significantly reduced the wear. * Since these equipment parts are used in environments that dislike rust and dirt, using ceramics provides peace of mind. * We were experiencing rapid corrosion of parts due to the use of water and aqueous chemicals, but after switching to alumina, there has been no corrosion at all. **Examples of Steatite Usage** * When I requested alumina parts for insulation purposes, I was offered steatite, which I was able to purchase at a lower cost than initially expected. * I tried using resin for insulation parts, but it lacked durability. After consulting, I was recommended steatite, which I could purchase at a low cost and with a short delivery time. * When I requested jigs for use in high-temperature environments (800 degrees), I found that steatite was sufficient, and I was able to purchase it at a low cost.

Among fine ceramics, alumina is representative, but steatite is increasingly in demand year by year due to its cost-effectiveness and universality.
