Ceramic Materials
Alumina (Al2O3)
Widely used material with high electrical insulation and mechanical strength
Alumina was quickly adopted by the electronics field due to its high electrical insulation properties. In addition, because it has excellent corrosion resistance, wear resistance, and mechanical strength, it is used in many industrial machinery parts, and is the most widely used material among Fine Ceramics.
- Important property :
- Insulation
