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.
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.
