Al2o3 Ceramic Applications

Alumina oxide ceramics al2o3 is the most widely used fine ceramics material.

Al2o3 ceramic applications.

Aluminium oxide al 2 o 3 or alumina is one of the most versatile of refractory ceramic oxides and finds use in a wide range of applications. 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 and most commonly used fine ceramic material. Ceramtec offers a wide range of material types with different property profiles that can be adjusted via a targeted matrix design.

This material has superb material characteristics such as high electrical insulation high mechanical strength high wear and chemical resistance. In traditional industries al2o3 ceramics are ideal for products such as injector tubes gas nozzles and insulators. Aluminium oxide is an electrical insulator but has a relatively high thermal conductivity its hardness makes it suitable for use as an abrasive and as a component in cutting tools. It is found in nature as corundum in emery topaz amethyst and emerald and as the precious gemstones ruby and sapphire but it is from the more abundant ores such as bauxite cryolite and clays that the material is commercially extracted and purified.

Aluminum oxide can be used in the following applications. It has the same sintered crystal body as sapphire and ruby. Alumina is the more common name of aluminium oxide al2o3 and is a hard wearing material used for many applications.
