"LAVA"  is not a volcanic product, but a natural ore mined from the earth.
 
  The material occurs in dense formation and is characterized by its softness. There are two Grades, with each grade being suitable for certain technical applications. Lava grades are known as grades "A" and "M". Data on each grade is shown in our data section.

Lava can be furnished in block and rod form. The material is quite uniform in structure. Grade "A" is the material most frequently used for making models. Lava can serve as refractory material, insulating material, building material and ceramic material. The larger sizes can also be used for carving.

We would be pleased to submit quotations on either of the two standard types upon receipt of inquiries that should include drawings and the quantities required. Custom firing can be done at a nominal price.
   

 


MACHINING

"LAVA"  The material is easily machined and can be milled, drilled and tapped before being hardened. The machined parts are hardened by kiln firing and are only workable by grinding after the hardening process. The Lava material can be held to closer dimensional tolerances than any other ceramic body that is not ground after firing.
 
 

USES

"LAVA"  LAVA is used for Coil Forms and Bars, Bobbins and Spools, Threaded Cores, Mounting Strips, Bushings and Spacers, Electronic Tube Parts, Electrical Application Parts, Parts for Electrical Controls. Miscellaneous Parts for Electronic Applications. LAVA is also widely used for Gas Burner Tips, Industrial Burner Tips, Welding Cups and Nozzles and other Heat Resisting and Acid Resisting Parts. Machinable Ceramics for R&D People.
