Since Mykroy is softer than all other machinable ceramics on the market, fabrication is easy and fast, hence intricate and complex shapes can be accomplished inexpensively using standard carbide tools. It can be drilled, bored and tapped and can accommodate helicoil inserts. Tight tolerances are achievable up to .0001”. It can also be machined to a surface finish less than 30 µin; and polished to a smoothness of 2µin. Our engineering staff is always available for design and machining assistance.
