Technical Data
Alumina (Aluminum Oxide, Al2O3)
Features
Because alumina is a well-balanced material.
Alumina is the most well-known and most commonly used fine ceramic material. It has the same sintered crystal body as sapphire and ruby. It has been used for decades in electrical components for its high electrical insulation, and is widely used in mechanical parts for its high strength, and corrosion- and wear-resistance.
Alumina is the most well-known fine ceramic material for chemical and physical stability.
- Thermal properties: High heat resistance and high thermal conductivity.
- Mechanical properties: High strength and high hardness.
- Other properties: High electrical insulation, high corrosion resistance and biocompatibility.
