When you need reliable and custom fabricated mica parts, USAMica Company is here to help. Our industry-leading fabrication capabilities consistently produce quality products on time and within budget. From prototypes to large-scale production runs, our highly trained team can meet your needs, offering complete fabrication services of manufactured mica parts to customer specs.
Our technicians are trained in a range of manufacturing processes and have a firm understanding of mica, its properties, and how it should be treated. Every process has a standard operating procedure with robust critical safety protocols. Quality control checks occur throughout the manufacturing process to ensure the client obtains fabricated mica components that meet their specifications or requirements.
Mica Discs and Washers: These flat, circular components are widely used as electrical insulators, gaskets, and spacers in various industries, including automotive, aerospace, and electronics. Available in different diameters and thicknesses.
Mica Tubes and Sleeves: Ideal for insulating wires, cables, and other cylindrical components, these fabricated mica parts provide excellent thermal and electrical insulation while maintaining dimensional stability.
Mica Channels and Troughs: Designed to accommodate and protect wires, cables, or other components, these elongated mica parts offer efficient heat dissipation and electrical insulation in confined spaces.
Mica Plates and Sheets: Customized to precise dimensions and thicknesses, these fabricated mica parts serve as insulation layers, heat shields, or structural components in high-temperature and electrical applications.
Complex Mica Shapes: Leveraging advanced manufacturing techniques, we can produce intricate mica parts with custom geometries, tailored to meet specific design requirements for specialized applications.
Mica Composites and Laminates: By combining mica with other materials like fiberglass, ceramics, or resins, we create composite or laminated mica parts with enhanced properties for unique applications.
