Wasn't sure where to ask this so feel free to move it. I am looking for a source for thin ceramic sheet material. Preferably 1/8" and thinner.
Thanks. |

Does alumina have aluminum in it by chance? |

Do you want soft or hard material? How about a hint to the application? Its a cutting tool I am working on. Must be completely non metallic. I don't believe non-ferrous will cut it. The alumina ceramic looks good but I think a hand held wand would still detect it. It needs to be really thin. I think 1/16" would be perfect but I could work with 1/8" if I had to. Thanks |

Thanks Just a heads up if you are trying to make a sort of undetectable knife or something of the sort for non-permissive environments. Even if the material is non-ferrous or completely non metallic it will still trip many scanners due to its density. Plastic stuff such as the Grivory offerings by Cold Steel are the densest I feel comfortable with. CF might fly as well depending on the resin used. But beware, metal isn't the threshold always, it can be density. Basically nothing that holds an edge. |

McMaster Carr sells it and a small sheet would go a long way. |
