Ceramic products are defined as inorganic, nonmetallic solids made from oxide ceramics, non-oxide ceramics, or composites; each providing unique material properties of the finished piece, that are subject to high temperatures during manufacturing. Washington Mills produced inorganic fused minerals specifically designed for use in ceramic product manufacturing such as; technical ceramics, advanced, structural, electrical, magnetic, optical, chemical, thermal, mechanical, biological, and nuclear ceramics. Most of these products are manufactured with ceramic materials that have high density and low porosity and are used in high performance applications. Siliziumkarbid

Abrasive grains can be used as a hardening and anti-slip agent in concrete floors and surfaces. It is also used in resin floor coatings, stair treads and wear-resistance surfaces.

Iron foundries melt iron ore, iron scrap, & steel scrap, in a high temperature furnace to produce molten iron. Impurities from the molten iron must be removed from the slag produced during the melting process. Silicon Carbide is an important metallurgical additive as Silicon & Carbon combine with impurities in the molten metal slag removing contaminants & increasing Iron yield. Silicon Carbide releases metal oxides trapped in the slag producing additional energy to expedite the melting process. Silicon Carbide enhances the metallurgical properties for all grades of Iron.

Friction is the transference of thermal energy through the breaking of chemical bonds between two objects. Abrasives are used in the friction industry as long-lasting, dependable fused minerals.

Metallurgy is the technique or science of working on heating metals to produce a certain desired shape or properties for making compounding alloys or separating metals from their ores.

Industrial abrasive grains and powders – such as brown aluminum oxide, white aluminum oxide and silicon carbide – are primarily used in the cleaning, etching, finishing, impinging, lapping, polishing, profiling, stripping and surface preparation of metal parts.

Fused minerals have hundreds of different applications as refractory materials due to their ability to withstand continuous exposure to the combination of heat, corrosion, abrasion and impact. Choosing the proper refractory material for an application is critical because poor quality materials can lead to excessive maintenance and equipment failure – resulting in recurring downtime, lost production and erosion of profits.
