the assembly at temperatures over 1000\u00b0C to sinter the ceramic. This intense heat would destroy any markings applied before firing, and adding markings after firing is an expensive, time-consuming step that\u2019s impractical for mass-produced components (billions are made annually).<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div
