Why Choose Alumina (Al2O3) Ceramics for Your Equipment Components?

 
Alumina
ceramics (Al2O3)
, also known as corundum, is one of the most widely used ceramic materials in the industrial sector. Renowned for its exceptional hardness,
high-temperature resistance,and electrical insulation properties, alumina ceramics also boasts excellent thermal conductivity, chemical resistance, and wear resistance,
coupled with an extremely low thermal expansion coefficient.These properties make it ideal for use in military, aerospace, semiconductor manufacturing, energy,
chemical industries, and various equipment components that operate under harsh conditions.

Choosing the Right Purity Level for Your Alumina Ceramics

The purity of alumina ceramics varies and should be selected based on specific application needs. The most common purity levels are 95%, 99%, and 99.7%, with higher purity correlating to enhanced performance.

Below is a comparison of the mechanical, thermal, and electrical properties of alumina ceramics at different purity levels:

How is Alumina Ceramic Manufactured?

The Alumina Ceramic Manufacturing Process involves several key stages:

1  Powder Preparation: Ensures the finest quality material for ceramic production.
2  Forming Methods (Green Body): Techniques include dry pressing, injection molding, tape casting, hot pressing, and isostatic pressing.
3 Sintering Techniques:
            *Conventional high-temperature furnace sintering
            *Hot isostatic pressing (HIP)
            *Microwave sintering
4 Machining:
             *CNC machining
             *Grinding
             *Cutting
5 Surface Treatment: Various finishing methods depending on the final application.
6 Quality Inspection: Advanced tools like coordinate measuring machines (CMM) and image measurement instruments ensure high standards.
