PreciÂsion castÂing
The lost-wax castÂing process is a very old techÂnolÂogy that makes it possiÂble to produce compliÂcated indiÂvidÂual parts or even large series. Often, the castÂings do not need to be reworked, thanks to their high preciÂsion.
EngiÂneerÂing ceramÂics
The diverse propÂerÂties of ceramic prodÂucts offer an immense specÂtrum of possiÂble appliÂcaÂtions. CompoÂnents made of ceramÂics can now be found in almost all sectors of the econÂomy.
IlluÂmiÂnants and the glass indusÂtry
IlluÂmiÂnants (lamps and bulbs) are becomÂing ever more effiÂcient and energy-saving. Ceramic is used not only as an insuÂlaÂtor but also as a carrier mateÂrÂial. It is oxidaÂtion-free and heat-resisÂtant.
AeroÂspace indusÂtry
In the aeroÂspace indusÂtry, the search is on for new mateÂriÂals that can meet the exactÂing requireÂments. Ceramic is a promisÂing and imporÂtant mateÂrÂial for this purpose.
PharÂmaÂceuÂtics and mediÂcine
In the pharÂmaÂceuÂtiÂcal and medical techÂnolÂogy sectors, GTS is recogÂnised as a major supplier of high-qualÂity prodÂucts.
Jewellery sector
As in medical and preciÂsion castÂing, jewellery castÂings are generÂally produced using the lost-wax castÂing techÂnique.
Solar and battery indusÂtry
As a manuÂfacÂturer of ceramic compoÂnents, GTS was deciÂsively involved in the develÂopÂment of solar cells from its early beginÂnings.

Glazed quartz crucibles (A3 glazed)
SPECIAL PROPERTIES
Glazed quartz crucibles have the advanÂtage over laboÂraÂtory porceÂlain that they are signifÂiÂcantly less temperÂaÂture-sensiÂtive. The recomÂmended heatÂing rate for laboÂraÂtory porceÂlain is approx. 2 °C/min., for glazed quartz crucibles it is approx. 10 °C/min. These can be used at a temperÂaÂture of up to 1200 °C, while porceÂlain can only be used up to 1000 °C.
