ADVANCED MATERIALS

Shaping what's next
in Advanced Ceramics

The GBC brand sits prominently at the intersection of innovation and performance.

Backed by an award-winning manufacturing team, we produce high-performance components uniquely engineered for unmatched durability, strength, and complexity.

From Strength
to Strength

With advanced manufacturing capabilities, we ensure tight tolerances, exceptional quality, and cost-effective production, no matter the scale.

Here are some of the ways we do it:

01 Powder Processing
02 Forming
03 Sintering
04 Machining

Powder Processing

We harness the power of isostatic and mechanical pressing to shape ceramic powders into solid, high-integrity forms. Cold Isostatic Pressing (CIP) ensures uniform density and minimal warping, while Mechanical Pressing delivers near-net shapes with efficiency.

For extreme precision and strength, we also offer Hot Isostatic Pressing (HIP) through our trusted partners.

IDEAL FOR
01

Creating uniform, stress-resistant ceramic parts

02

Achieving complex shapes not possible with traditional pressing

03

Producing high-strength preforms with minimal post-processing

Forming

By shaping ceramics in their softer, unfired state through green machining and extrusion, we optimize efficiency and reduce waste.

Green machining, using carbide and PCD tooling for precision cuts, allows us to achieve near-net shapes with minimal post-sintering grinding, while our advanced extrusion process produces high-purity rods, tubes, and intricate profiles for various applications.

IDEAL FOR
01

Reducing lead times and machining costs

02

Achieving complex geometries before hardening

03

High-volume production of intricate ceramic components

Sintering

Sintering transforms compacted powder into fully dense, high-performance ceramics through controlled heat treatment. This process strengthens parts while minimizing shrinkage and distortion.

We carefully regulate temperature, atmosphere, and material composition to ensure optimal results.

IDEAL FOR
01

Enhancing mechanical strength and durability

02

Controlling shrinkage for precise final dimensions

03

Reducing porosity for improved material integrity

Machining

When extreme precision is required, our CNC and conventional grinding processes refine ceramic and glass components to exact specifications. By carefully managing speeds, feeds, and abrasives, we achieve ultra-tight tolerances while preventing thermal damage to the material..

IDEAL FOR
01

Attaining ultra-precise dimensions and finishes

02

Refining post-sintered ceramics with minimal material removal

03

Ensuring surface integrity without compromising strength

Pressed Into Action

From concept to completion, our expertise in ceramic engineering ensures that every component meets the highest standards of quality and performance.
