What are Ceramic Screws?

Ceramic screws are precision fasteners manufactured entirely from ceramic, engineered for use in extreme temperature environments where traditional metal fasteners may fail. Unlike ceramic-coated alternatives, these screws are wholly composed of ceramic, offering superior thermal resistance and electrical insulation up to 1500°C.

Commonly used in high-temperature industrial equipment, kilns, ovens and chemical processing systems, screws made of ceramic are ideal for non-metallic fastening applications requiring high resistance to heat, corrosion and wear.

How Ceramic Screws Work

Ceramic screws operate like conventional fasteners but deliver distinct advantages in niche environments. Their non-metallic composition offers high temperature resistance, maintaining structural stability in kilns, ovens and furnaces. They also provide electrical insulation, making them suitable for electronics or laboratory devices. They feature excellent corrosion resistance and remain immune to rust and most chemical exposures.

Materials Ceramic Fasteners Are Made From

Our selection of ceramic fasteners in this category are made from fully ceramic materials, not merely coated with ceramic layers. This full-body composition ensures consistent performance throughout the screw's structure, especially in high-stress, high-heat environments up to 1500°C.

Sizes and Types of Ceramic Screws Available

Accu's ceramic screws are available in a range of dimensions and configurations to meet varied application needs:

• Thread sizes: M3 (3mm) to M10 (10mm)
• Lengths: 5mm to 30mm
• Head types: Hex Head, Cheese Head
• Drive types: Hexagon, Slotted Drive

These variations offer compatibility across a range of heat-intensive and non-metallic assembly systems.

FAQs

Q: What temperature range can ceramic screws be used in?

A: Our range of screws made of ceramic can withstand temperatues up to 1500°C.

Q: What are ceramic screws used for?

A: Screws made from ceramic are used for projects where resistance to high temperatures and or corrosives are project critical. Their composition inhibits corrosion or oxidation and also allows for greater performance in intensive heating and cooling environments such as kilns or laboratory equipment.

Q: Will ceramic screws rust?

A: No, ceramic screws do not rust. Their material composition is inherently resistant to oxidation and corrosion.

Q: How strong are ceramic screws?

A: They provide excellent strength for static applications, especially in high-temperature settings. However, they are more brittle than metal fasteners and should not be used in applications involving high mechanical stress or impact.

Q: Is ceramic as strong as steel?

A: While ceramic excels in thermal and corrosion resistance, it is not as ductile or impact-resistant as steel. Ceramic is harder but more brittle, making it ideal for specific project environments rather than general-purpose fastening.
