Quartz Ceramic Setter Plates High Purity Custom Sizes Up to 1800°C

What Are Quartz Ceramic Setter Plates

Quartz ceramic setter plates are specialized kiln furniture designed to support parts during the debinding and sintering processes in advanced ceramic and metal manufacturing. These plates provide a stable, high-temperature surface that withstands thermal shock while ensuring even heat distribution. Their primary role is to hold delicate components securely in place as binders are removed and materials densify, preventing warping or deformation.

In debinding, the setter plate’s porous ceramic structure absorbs volatile binder residues, helping maintain a clean firing atmosphere. During sintering, it supports the parts under high heat without reacting with them, enabling consistent shrinkage and optimal final properties.
