What information do you already have about your component?
You do not need complete documentation to get in touch. Choose the starting point that suits the current stage of your project.
I have a sketch or sample
Photographs, dimensions and a brief description help us assess the geometry and manufacturing options.
Send your documentsDescribe your project first
If you do not yet have a file to attach, start by describing the operating conditions and the function your component needs to perform.

From the first part to series production
A manufacturing approach suited to each project stage
GTS manufactures ceramic components from one-off parts through prototypes and small batches to series production. Depending on the task, 3D processes may also be an option for prototypes.

GTS material portfolio
Material grades at a glance
The maximum operating temperature alone is not enough to select a material. Atmosphere, contact media, thermal cycling, mechanical loads and geometry also matter.
For guidance only
Narrow down material grades on this page
Select a heating method and the highest intended operating temperature. The results show only the material grades that meet these two values in the reference table.
Heating method
How is the component heated in your process?
Other heating methods may be possible. If yours is not listed, please describe it in your enquiry.
Highest intended temperature, from 0 to 2,000 °C.
Indicative shortlist
Select a heating method
The material grades in the reference table will then be shown for your selected temperature.
First, select a heating method above.

Frequently asked questions
Before you get in touch
Key answers to help you prepare a technical enquiry.
Does GTS also manufacture one-off parts and prototypes?
Yes. GTS manufactures ceramic components from one-off parts through prototypes and small batches to series production.
Do I need a complete technical drawing?
No. For an initial discussion, a sketch, photographs, dimensions or an existing sample can also provide a starting point.
What information helps assess manufacturing feasibility?
Useful information includes geometry and quantity, operating temperature, atmosphere or contact medium, mechanical loads and thermal cycling.
Will GTS recommend a material for my application?
GTS provides data on the available material grades. As operating conditions are complex and application-specific, the user must verify suitability for their particular application.
Can GTS use 3D processes for prototypes?
Depending on the task, GTS also uses 3D processes for prototype manufacturing. Whether a process suits the geometry and material is assessed for each project.
