Organization Description

Founded in 1979, Blasch Precision Ceramics manufactures complex refractory shapes via a patented injection molding process. Blasch offers Net Shape Solutions for a variety of industries, worldwide including metallurgical, chemical, heat-treating, power generation, glass, and petro-chemical. Low cost Cathode oxides are produced for SOFCs. Structural ceramics for SOFCs are also produced. Low temp (500F) BlaschGuard abrasion resistant Ceramic-Silicone protects industrial wear areas.

Unique Technologies Specialization

Parts manufactured using a proprietary process have unique qualities that offer distinct advantages such as precise tolerances without machining (± 0.5%), excellent thermal shock resistance, controlled porosity, sub-particle distribution control, and outstanding resistance to spalling, erosion, and metal penetration. In addition, parts intended for aluminum applications are treated with a proprietary non-wetting agent.
