975 (99.5%) offers unique technology by virtue of its optimal dispersion of the MgO phase with the alumina grains. With virtually no transgranular porosity in its microstructure, 975 exhibits high density, superior wear resistance, and moderate flexural strength. Another advantage is its highly uniform white color compared to conventional 99.5% aluminas. The material’s white color remains consistent under either reducing or oxidizing conditions. It can be used for ballistic protection and ceramic armor. |
