We make ceramic components that stand up to investment casting, ensuring the integrity of crucial cooling channels in mission critical parts, no matter how harsh the environment. Our glass and sapphire products can endure extreme pressures and temperatures while providing the ultimate in durability, transparency, and clarity. ![Airplane engine](https://mcdanelceramics.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/gallery-aerospace-airplane-engine-side-view-close-up-2022-05-03-23-10-02-utc1-650x650.jpg) ![](https://mcdanelceramics.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/plane-viewport-1300x650.jpg) ![airplane](https://mcdanelceramics.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/gallery-aerospace-aircraft-in-the-sky-2021-08-26-15-42-47-utc-1300x650.jpg) ![Turbine engine component](https://mcdanelceramics.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/gallery-aerospace-turbine-blades-jet-engine-aircraft-2022-12-16-15-04-13-utc.jpg) ![](https://mcdanelceramics.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/plane-porthole.jpg) ![Engine components](https://mcdanelceramics.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/gallery-aerospace-jet-engine-in-cross-section-2021-08-29-10-29-01-utc-1300x650.jpg) QUALITY, SERVICE & TECHNOLOGY #### The McDanel Difference [Read more](/products/) 001 The efficiency and durability of aviation systems are enhanced by ceramic and sapphire applications which enable parts to withstand extreme temperatures better than traditional materials. McDanel insulators are trusted to be used in a wide range of onboard sensors and cameras and have been integral components in sensors used in aviation technologies.  ###### THERMAL STABILITY 002 Advanced ceramics and glass contribute to weight reduction initiatives, thereby enabling the development of more efficient and agile aviation systems ###### Lightweight 003 Ceramics, glass, and sapphire are some of the world’s hardest materials. Extremely hard and strong, they maintain their integrity in the harshest, most demanding environments.  ###### PRESSURE, IMPACT & SCRATCH RESISTANT 004 Built clear and engineered solid, McDanel glass and** sapphire** optics and windows provide the utmost in optical clarity, which ensures that pilots, passengers, and onboard systems have an unobstructed view, which is critical for safety and navigation.  ###### TRANSPARENT & CLEAR 005 Aerospace components such as bearings, seals, and coatings depend on advanced ceramics to prolong their service life and reduce the need for maintenance. ###### Corrosion & Wear Resistance ![c](https://mcdanelceramics.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/h6-rev-img-6.png) McDanel is different than other industry suppliers in that their customer service is responsive and creates positive solutions. We can count on McDanel to perform professionally and support our needs. McDanel Customer We value working with McDanel because we both hold high values of collaboration and moral duty to facilitate a win-win relationship. McDanel understands their products are critical components to ours. Authentic interest in our company's well-being is conveyed which is largely not found in today's supply chain. McDanel Customer McDanel has helped our company solve the challenge of partnering with a ceramics industry supplier that can provide reliable and repeatable products. McDanel has worked in collaboration with our team over the years to hold tight tolerances and back their products if issues arise. McDanel Customer The quality at McDanel is better than other companies and customer satisfaction is very high. Additionally, we can rely on McDanel to respond promptly to our detailed needs. Also, productivity has increased due to improved yield in assembly by using McDanel ceramic tubes. McDanel Customer We order our ceramic components only from McDanel. Even if we could save money with another supplier, we wouldn't switch. We are not cost sensitive, we are quality sensitive. Allen T. McDanel Customer I love the variety of what we do. We start with something raw and make it remarkable. I love this because the ideation goes from beginning to end. Tony Finoli, PhD Manager of Application Engineering What got me interested in ceramics is the fact that ceramics enable technologies that can’t be done in any other way.
