Materials
Our services are most appreciated by those who require close tolerance precision work with very dense, hard ceramics. But regardless of the hardness, crystal or particle size, density or porosity of the material, we always conform our machining methods to your materials and your unique specifications.
While materials are typically provided by our clients, we can supply most any advanced ceramic or composite material you require. To that end, we welcome a ‘materials consult’ to discuss your goals. Three generations of experience make the difference. Call us at 617-628-3831 or email either [email protected] or [email protected] and Let’s Talk Materials!

Materials FAQs
Fused Quartz seems to be a specialty material. Can you work with it?
Yes, a Bomas advantage is the wide variety of materials we can successfully work with. That includes Boron Carbide, Macor, Glass, Mullite, Zorconia, and Industrial Grown Sapphire to name a few. While most materials are provided to us, we can special order materials to meet your needs.
Can you machine chevron notch flexure specimens out of fully-stabilized zirconia?
Yes, we can do that.
I am looking to obtain CVD SiC and/or Hexoloy SiC. Can you supply and machine?
Yes, we can supply and machine to your specifications.
Do you machine Tungsten Carbide material?
Yes we do, and we welcome a discussion on all the materials we work with.
Do you source the materials, or would they need to be provided?
While most customers provide their own materials, we can source most materials.
