| A very high-purity porous magnesia ceramic of typical composition 99.45% MgO and 0.25% CaO. Other components are 0.19% SiO2, and 0.07% Fe2O3 with less than 0.05% Al2O3 and 0.001% B+Cd. Values quoted are based on test pieces and may vary according to component design. These values are not guaranteed in anyway whatsoever and should only be treated as indicative and for guidance only. Prime Features: - Consistent electrical performance at temperatures up to 1100C
- Excellent electrical resistance across temperature range
- Becomes excellent thermal conductor at elevated temperatures
- Particle size distribution, porosity and crushability can be tailored
- Minimal traces of boron and cadmium for low neutron capture
- Made from 100 per cent electrofused magnesium oxide
Typical Applications: - Special cabling for control systems in nuclear power stations where low neutron capture is of vital importance
- Thermal processing equipment
- Electrical control devices in industrial plant
- Crushable bushes for electrical insulation at high temperature
Production Capabilities:- Wide variety of single and multihole precision extruded forms
- Tolerances to customer specification
- Prototype, batch and volume production
