Equipment and Processing Capabilities - Technology Assessment & Transfer operates and maintains a wide variety of furnaces to develop and produce its transparent spinel ceramics. Currently, a 30- and 250-ton vacuum hot presses are used to manufacture the majority of spinel components. A 600-ton hot press is being commissioned to fabricate spinel windows as large as 16" x 30". TA&T can also provide transparent ceramics in other complex geometries by employing related manufacturing techniques.
