| A high quality alumina ceramic of 96% Al2O3 content. Excellent mechanical characteristics make this an ideal material for components where resistance to dynamic wear and abrasive action are prime factors. Prime Features: - Exceptionally hard-wearing
- Excellent abrasion resistance
- High compressive and flexural strengths
- Dense, non-porous and vacuum tight
- Excellent dimensional stability across very wide temperature range
- Resists chemical attack
Typical Applications:- Valve plates for liquid and gas control systems: industrial and domestic duties
- Pneumatic slider valves (>20 million operating cycles can be achieved)
- Wear resistant components for rotary and reciprocating pumps: shafts, bearings, thrust washers, plungers, counterface seats, etc
Production Capabilities:- Complex components to close tolerances
- Exacting flatness and surface finishes for low friction valve operation and accurate flow control.
- Flatness tolerance below three helium bnads (0.0009 mm)
- Flat surface polished finish to 0.08 micron Ra
- Cylindrical surface finish to 0.2 micron Ra
- Prototype, batch and volume prodcution
