CRYSTEX COMPOSITES has over 60 years experience in the machining of glass bonded mica material. Its modern machine shop offers fast turnaround with exceptionally tight tolerances. Since Mykroy is softer than all other machinable ceramics on the market, fabrication is easy and fast, hence intricate and complex shapes can be accomplished inexpensively using standard carbide tools. It can be drilled, bored and tapped and can accommodate helicoil inserts. Tight tolerances are achievable up to .0001”. It can also be machined to a surface finish less than 30 µin; and polished to a smoothness of 2µin. Our engineering staff is always available for design and machining assistance. The machining guideline is also available on our website. Fully inorganic, non-flammable, does not outgas or carbonize Easier to machine than other machinable ceramics Can be drilled, bored and tapped with standard tooling Exceptional dimensional stability even at high temperature Molds and machines much like plastics No post firing is required after machining or molding Can accommodate metal inserts during molding Impervious to moisture, oils and gasses Does not age, has long shelf-life Withstands thermal cycling Low thermal conductivity, excellent thermal insulator Can be thick film metallized using metal inks or thin film sputtered High dielectric strength and low electrical loss High arc resistance Can be glued with epoxy and sealing glass Vacuum tight with both machined and molded forms
