About Aluminum Oxide Ceramics (Al2O3)
Aluminum oxide ceramics (Al2O3) is the most common advanced ceramic material with high hardness. The material has excellent properties in terms of electrical insulation, high thermal conductivity, high chemical resistance, good wear resistance and low thermal expansion.
Alumina ceramics can be divided into several application grades according to their alumina content. Among them, 99% alumina ceramic materials are used to make high-temperature crucibles, refractory furnace tubes and special wear-resistant materials (e.g., ceramic bearings, ceramic seals, water valve disks, etc.); 95%-96% alumina ceramics are mainly used for corrosion-resistant, wear-resistant parts and circuit substrates.
Aluminum oxide color:
Alumina ceramics vary in color depending on their alumina content. 95%-96% alumina ceramics are milky white, while 99% alumina ceramics are yellow.
Density of aluminum oxide ceramics:
Alumina ceramics vary in density depending on their alumina content. 95%-96% alumina ceramics are 3.7-3.8g/cm³, while 99% alumina ceramics are 3.8-3.9g/cm³.
Alumina ceramics with an alumina content of 95% or 96% are referred to as 95 porcelain or 96 porcelain;
