P
hotoveel Machinable Glass/Ceramic can be easily
machined into complex forms without hard tooling or intri-
cate firing procedures. Photoveel instantly transforms a
standard machine shop to an "in house" Ceramic Fabrication
Facility. With features like 1100°C operating temperature and 0°
porosity Photoveel can be used for the toughest of applications.
Specify Photoveel for economic, design flexibility that you control.
Photoveel is easily machined using standard machine shop tool-
ing. It is ideal for prototype and small volume production of ceram-
ic parts.

#960 Machinable Alumina Ceramic is high purity, low porosity
ceramic allowing for continuous use to 3000°F. This ceramic
provides the convenience of an in house machinable material with
the outstanding properties of alumina. This #960 alumina
ceramic is much harder than the photoveel described on the left. It
is readily machinable and ideal for applications in electrical,
electronic, metallurgical, fixture and vacuum industries. Standard
carbide tooling is required for all machining operations.
