What is Alumina Ceramic?

classify :Product knowledge

The molecular weight of alumina is 102, and its chemical formula is Al2O3. This is a widely used material, and the main raw material of alumina ceramics is alumina. The melting point of alumina is 2100℃, which gives alumina ceramics excellent high-temperature stability! Therefore, alumina ceramics can be used in various high-temperature industries, and are often made into high-temperature furnace tubes, heating elements, thermocouple protection tubes, etc.

 

In addition to thermal stability, alumina also has excellent electrical insulation, which makes alumina ceramics widely used in some electrical equipment, the most common of which is ceramic substrates, insulators and other components in the semiconductor industry.

 

The hardness of alumina is comparable to that of diamond, and it is a very hard material, which gives alumina ceramics excellent wear resistance. Combined with chemical inertness, alumina ceramics can be used in harsh high-intensity environments as well as in easily corrosive environments, and are excellent materials!
