Aluminum Oxide, also known as alumina, is a hard wearing advanced technical ceramic material frequently used in a wide variety of industrial applications. Once fired and sintered, it can only be machined using diamond-grinding methods. It features high hardness and wear resistance, low erosion levels, high temp. resistance, corrosion resistance, and bioinertness. Additionally, it can be highly polished, making it useful for a wide range of applications. Frequently used alumina's purity is from 90% to 99.7%.
Properties of Aluminium Oxide
- Good mechanical strength under compressive loading
- Electrical insulation
- Hardness and excellent wear resistance
- Corrosion resistance to acid, gas, chemical etc.
- Excellent dielectric for direct Amp and microwaves application
- Law dielectric constant
Applications of Aluminium Oxide
- Excellent electric insulator products
- Sand and shot blasting nozzles
- Mig. & Tig. welding shield and nozzles for laser cutting guns
- Various type of tubes with single hole to multy core/ hole cavities
- Seals for tap water
- Textile wear parts and thread guides
- Piston and sleeves for water pumps and chemical pumps
- Corrosion resistance components
