Stainless steel ferrules provide superior vibration resistance for machinery, sensors, and outdoor enclosures. High-Performance Test Equipment Zirconia is required for stability. Sintering is the process of heating the molded ceramic ferrules to high temperatures in order to convert the mixture into a solid ceramic. Ceramic injection molding (CIM) technology is used to meet high precision requirements.
