Cermet blades and wear parts
Cutting blades and wear inserts that need edge retention and some toughness.
Product family
Cermet and metal–ceramic parts
Cermet blades and wear parts, and assemblies that join zirconia or alumina parts to metal by press fit, shrink fit, bonding, or pinning.
Product overview
What we make and how it is reviewed
Cermets combine ceramic hard phases with a metal binder, giving wear resistance with more toughness than plain ceramic. Metal–ceramic assemblies go the other way: they place a ceramic part only where wear, corrosion, or insulation is needed and use metal for threads, mounting, and load.
Typical requests include cermet cutting blades and wear parts, ceramic sleeves in metal housings, ceramic pump cores and valve parts in metal bodies, ceramic tips on metal shafts, and pinned or bonded inserts. The joint is usually the limiting part of the design.
Send the assembly drawing, load and temperature, and who is responsible for assembly and testing.
Product types
Part types we quote to drawing
These are made to customer drawings or samples, not sold from stock. Final material, route, and acceptance are confirmed for each drawing.
Ceramic in metal sleeves
Ceramic sleeves and liners pressed or shrink-fitted into metal housings.
Metal–ceramic pump and valve parts
Ceramic pump cores, seats, and plungers fixed in metal bodies.
Bonded and pinned inserts
Ceramic tips and pads bonded or pinned to metal holders.
Decision map
Requirements that change machining and quotation
Use the final column as a drawing and RFQ check. A requirement is easier to review when its function and acceptance evidence are stated together.
| Requirement | Why it changes the route | What to define in the RFQ |
|---|---|---|
| Joint method | Press, shrink, bond, and pin joints load the ceramic differently. | State the joint method or ask for a recommendation. |
| Thermal expansion mismatch | Metal expands more than ceramic; temperature changes can loosen or crack joints. | Give operating and cleaning temperature range. |
| Load and test | The joint must carry pressure, torque, or pull without slipping. | Define load, required test (pull, torque, leak), and who performs it. |
Material paths
Select against the failure mode
Cermet grades
Grade chosen for hardness and toughness balance; confirm per application.
Zirconia with steel
Zirconia expansion is closer to steel than alumina, which helps shrink fits.
Alumina with metal
Used where insulation or chemistry matters; joints need more care.

Questions before quotation
Product RFQ FAQ
Can you supply finished metal–ceramic assemblies?
Assemblies can be reviewed. The joint method, assembly test, and responsibility are agreed in the quotation.
Engineering RFQ
Send your drawing and ceramic requirements for engineering review
Start with the part function, material or grade if known, quantity, and the critical requirements; an early-stage brief is enough to begin. If online submission is interrupted, the form prepares the same RFQ as an email instead.
- Useful files: STEP/STP, X_T/X_B, IGES, STL, or PDF drawings.
- Upload limit: up to 3 files, 5 MB each, 8 MB total.
- Sensitive projects: do not send export-controlled, classified, or restricted data before an approved handling agreement is in place.
