Machinable Ceramics
Machinable ceramics, also known as glass-ceramics, are mica-based glass-ceramic materials with synthetic mica as the primary crystalline phase. These materials offer excellent machinability, vacuum performance, electrical insulation properties, high-temperature resistance, and chemical corrosion resistance.
