We make custom technical ceramics for processes that run at the limit of wear, temperature, corrosion or electric current. Send us the drawing or a photo of the part and its operating conditions, and we will tell you whether ceramics solve the problem and in which material.
Quality
Typical datasheet values for yttria zirconia. They are not a specification.
On the machine
Part study, prototype and series in the same place.
Prototype and series
Custom parts: from drawing to series
A short run so that you can validate the part on your machine before committing to production.
Materials
Sixteen materials, from white to black, grouped into five families. Choose by operating condition, not by name: each family answers a different problem.
99.7% alumina, 96% alumina, 92% alumina and ZTA, for wear, chemical attack and electrical insulation.
Yttria zirconia, Zircon+, ATZ and magnesia zirconia, for parts that take impact, bending and friction at the same time.
Boron carbide and silicon carbide, for abrasion, chemical attack and parts that must dissipate heat.
Silicon nitride, boron nitride and aluminum nitride, for thermal shock, molten metal and electronics.
Cordierite, mullite and steatite, for furnaces and thermal shock; cordierite and steatite also as electrical insulators.
Our own material
Zircon+ was created to solve the breakage of welding pins.
15MPa·m½
Fracture toughness of Zircon+ (typical datasheet value).

How we work
We analyze the part. From the drawing or a photo and the operating conditions. We tell you whether ceramics solve the problem or whether it does not pay off.
We choose the material. We compare the candidates for wear, impact, bending, temperature and thermal shock, and we justify the choice.
We make the prototype. A short run so that you can validate the part on your machine before committing to production.
We move to series. Production with dimensional control and batch-to-batch repeatability.
Response time for a quote: 24–48 h, working days.
Applications
Do you start from the problem rather than the part? Start with the application.
For metal pins that melt, collect spatter or arc.
For dosing precisely without wear and without contaminating the product.
For steel edges that dull, rust or contaminate the material.
For metal parts that wear out early from friction, erosion or abrasion.
For metal components that deform or oxidize with heat.
For metal guides that cut grooves or break the wire.
For filtering molten metal, gases or aggressive liquids, and for diffusing air.
For acids, bases and aggressive media that attack metal.
For tooling that wears or sticks to the material being formed.
For leaks caused by worn sealing faces and seats.
For seizing and wear of bearings and shafts, without lubrication or inside fluids.
For metal contamination and wear of grinding media.
For insulating at high temperature or high voltage, where polymers fail.
For removing heat from electronics without conducting electricity.
For armor parts that must be very hard and weigh as little as possible.
For laboratories that mill zirconia crowns and bridges with CAD/CAM.
Company
Part study, prototype and series in the same place.
We manufacture in Spain.
You will talk to someone who knows the material, not to a form.
Quality control is done internally.
Zircon+ is our material for welding pins.
Automotive, wire drawing and cable, textiles, food and packaging, chemicals and petrochemicals, pharmaceuticals and laboratories, energy, defense and security (ballistic protection), metallurgy and foundry, mining, cement and aggregates, electronics, dental and industrial machinery.
You will talk to someone who knows the material, not to a form. Send us the drawing or a photo and tell us how the part works.
Questions
Yes. We make custom technical ceramics to drawing at our workshop in El Bruc, near Barcelona: we study the part, make the prototype and move to series. Send us the drawing or a photo and the operating conditions.
The drawing or a photo of the part and its operating conditions are enough to start: what wears it, the temperature it works at, the medium it is in contact with or the current it carries. Response time for a quote: 24–48 h, working days.
Not always. It depends on how the part fails and how it works. We review the drawing or photo with your operating conditions and tell you whether ceramics solve the problem or are not worth it.
Yes. We make a short run so you can validate the part on your machine before committing to production, with whatever geometry adjustments are needed. Then we move to series.
Yes. We manufacture in Spain, so delivery within the European Union does not go through customs. We serve you in Spanish, English or French.
