 | When metals can't take the heat: Silicon Carbide is a top choice for high-temperature wear
Silicon Carbide is among the hardest of ceramics. It retains this hardness and strength at elevated temperatures, which translates into incredible wear resistance. Several grades of Silicon Carbide optimize wear performance for bearings and other parts requiring extreme precision in high-acceleration or aerospace applications. Insaco is the expert in precision machining SiC in applications where thermal conductivity or strength at high temperatures and low density are key.

 | Sheet metal finishing options from Xometry
Xometry now offers expanded options for sheet cut and sheet metal parts. Parts fresh off the waterjet or laser often have a burr on their bottom face, marks from handling, frosting near the cut line from overspray, and/or vestigial tabs from being held in place during cutting. Applying a finishing process post-cutting will help you get parts that need minimal cleanup before installation.
