At Eshino Precision, we create these awesome parts for all kinds of industries. In this guide, we’ll explain what custom ceramic parts are, why they’re so cool, and where they’re used. Let’s get started!
Introduction
Why Custom Ceramic Parts Are Awesome
Custom ceramic parts are special pieces made just for certain jobs. They’re not like regular parts you buy off a shelf. Instead, they’re designed to fit perfectly in things like car engines, medical tools, or even spaceships. Because they’re so tough, they help machines work better and last longer. At Eshino Precision, we make these parts to solve tricky problems for our customers.

Understanding Custom Ceramic Parts
What Are They?
Custom ceramic parts are pieces made from super strong materials called advanced ceramics. Unlike regular ceramics, like a coffee mug, these are made for tough jobs. They’re designed to fit exactly what you need, like a puzzle piece for a machine. For example, they can be super tiny for a computer chip or big for a car part. At Eshino Precision, we make custom ceramic substrates and more.
Why Make Them Custom?
Regular parts are made for lots of uses, but they might not work for special jobs. Custom ceramic parts are different because they’re built just for you. They can handle crazy heat, tough chemicals, or super precise tasks. This makes them perfect for industries like electronics or automotive. Learn more about their strength in our high-strength ceramics page.

Advantages of Custom Ceramic Parts
Super Heat Resistance
Custom ceramic parts can handle super hot places, like up to 1700°C! That’s hotter than a volcano! This makes them great for things like car engines or furnaces. They don’t melt or break, so machines keep working. Check out our high-temperature resistance guide to learn more.
Really Tough and Long-Lasting
These parts are super tough and don’t wear out easily. For example, in factories, they can get hit or scratched and still stay strong. This saves money because you don’t need to replace them often. See how tough they are in our wear-resistance page.
Blocks Electricity and Chemicals
Custom ceramic parts are great at stopping electricity, which is perfect for electronics. They also don’t get damaged by nasty chemicals, so they’re used in chemical plants. Plus, they stay the same shape even in crazy conditions. Learn more in our electrical insulation guide.
Where Custom Ceramic Parts Are Used
In Electronics
Custom ceramic parts are superstars in electronics. They’re used as substrates in computer chips because they block electricity and keep things cool. For example, alumina parts help circuit boards work without overheating. This makes your phone or computer last longer. Want to know more? Read our electronics ceramics blog.
In Cars
In cars, custom ceramic parts make engines better. They’re used in turbochargers and sensors, helping cars go faster and use less gas. They’re light and strong, so cars are more efficient. Check out our automotive ceramics guide for more.
In Medicine and More
In medicine, custom ceramic parts are used for things like dental implants because they’re safe for your body and super strong. They’re also used in airplanes, factories, and even solar panels because they’re so tough. Learn about their uses in our advanced ceramics applications blog.
Designing Custom Ceramic Parts: Key Considerations
Pick the Right Material
Designing custom ceramic parts is like building a toy just for you! First, you need to choose the right material. For example, if you need something that blocks electricity, pick alumina. If you want it super tough, go for zirconia. Each material has special powers, like handling heat or staying strong. At Eshino Precision, we help pick the best one for your custom ceramic parts.
Think About Making It
You also need to know how the part will be made. Some ways, like shaping before it’s hard, are easier and cheaper. Others, like cutting after it’s super tough, take more work. For example, in factories, we design parts to fit machines perfectly. Learn more about making ceramics in our ceramic CNC machining guide.
Keep It Precise and Affordable
Custom ceramic parts need to be super exact, but not too hard to make. We aim for sizes that are close, like within 1% of what you want, so it’s not super expensive. Also, we talk to our customers early to make sure the design is just right. This saves money and time. Want to know more? Check our guide on choosing ceramic materials.
“Designing custom ceramic parts is all about matching the material and process to the job. Early collaboration with experts saves headaches.” – Dr. Mark Thompson, Ceramic Engineering Specialist
How Custom Ceramic Parts Are Made
Getting the Stuff Ready
Making custom ceramic parts is like baking a super strong cake! First, we mix special powders, like silicon nitride or silicon carbide. These powders are tiny and need to be just right to make the part strong. We add stuff to hold it together, kind of like glue. At Eshino Precision, we’re super careful to get this step perfect.
Shaping and Cooking
Next, we shape the powder into the part you want. We might press it, mold it, or pour it into a form, depending on the shape. For example, ceramic nozzles need special molds. Then, we shape it more before it’s super hard—this is called green machining. After that, we “cook” it at super high heat, up to 1600°C, to make it super strong. This step is called sintering.
Finishing Touches
Finally, we polish or cut the part to make it perfect. This is tricky because ceramics are so hard, so we use special tools. For example, ceramic cutting tools need to be super smooth. This makes sure the part fits exactly where it’s needed, like in semiconductor machines. Learn more in our precision components guide.

Material Options for Custom Ceramic Parts
Choosing the Best Material
Custom ceramic parts can be made from different materials, and each one is like a superhero with its own powers. For example, alumina is great for blocking electricity, so it’s used in substrates. Zirconia is super tough, perfect for medical implants. We pick the one that matches your job best.
Comparing Materials
Here’s a quick look at some popular materials for custom ceramic parts. Silicon carbide is awesome for handling heat, while silicon nitride is super strong for car parts. Check out our zirconia vs. alumina guide to compare them.
| Material | Strength (MPa) | Heat Limit (°C) | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| Alumina | 300-400 | 1600-1700 | Electronics |
| Zirconia | 900-1200 | 1000-1200 | Medical |
| Silicon Carbide | 400-600 | 1400-1600 | Heat Exchangers |
| Silicon Nitride | 800-1000 | 1200-1400 | Engines |
Real-World Examples
Custom Ceramic Parts in Cars
Custom ceramic parts are like superheroes in cars! For example, they’re used in turbochargers, which make car engines stronger and faster. These parts, often made from silicon nitride, are light and can handle super-hot engine heat. This helps cars use less gas and go farther. At Eshino Precision, we make ceramic pins and other parts to keep cars running smoothly. Learn more in our automotive ceramics blog.
Helping in Medicine
In medicine, custom ceramic parts are used for things like dental implants. Zirconia is perfect because it’s super strong and safe for your body. It looks like real teeth, too! These implants last a long time, so people don’t need new ones often. Our ceramic discs are also used in medical tools because they’re so tough. Check out our zirconia benefits guide.
