It is typically a composite of 41.9% Al2O3 and 54.8% SiO2 with 2.3% TiO2, 0.75% Fe2O3 plus traces of MgO and CaO. By changing process conditions, this highly versatile material can be tailored to provide a range of hardness values to suit customer requirements, whilst maintaining its thermal and electrical properties. (See Rockwell hardness values to R15T, quoted alongside.) Prime Features: - Excellent high temperature capability
- Exceptional thermal shock resistance
- Low and very stable thermal expansion
- Hard and durable, with excellent resistance to abrasion and chemical attack
- Can be precision formed into complex shapes that are not easily achieved with other materials
- No special tooling required for forming
- Good electrical properties
Typical Applications: - Thermally insulative components
- Dicing support plates for wafer slicing
- Furnace fixtures for glass sealing
- Welding nozzles
Production Capabilities: - Precision machining in green state
- Firing at precise temperatures to produce very close dimensional tolerances
- Prototype, batch and volume production
