Alumina Ceramics: Characteristics, Applications And Future Development Trends
Introduction
Alumina ceramics (Al2O3 ceramics) are inorganic non-metallic materials with α-alumina as the main crystal phase. Due to its high hardness, high temperature resistance, good insulation and other characteristics, it is widely used in electronics, machinery, chemical industry, medical and other fields. Ingredients: The Al2O3 content is usually 75%~99.9%. The higher the purity, the better the performance (such as 99.6% high-purity alumina ceramics). Classification: According to the purity, it is divided into ordinary type (75%~95%) and high-purity type (≥99%).
