Alumina (Al2 O3) is a common workhorse material in the world of technical ceramics and is utilized in an extensive variety of industries and applications. Alumina’s material properties offer electrical isolation, wear resistance, high temperature resistance, and good mechanical strength. STC’s fully dense, 99.5%, 99.8% and 99.96% alumina bodies offer improved performance over lower purity alumina ceramics in demanding operating conditions.
Our High purity aluminas make for improved corrosion resistance due to lower impurity/silica content. Higher hardness, increased dielectric strength, and in some cases, superior flexural strength. Finer grain sizes also allow for smooth surface finishes. The grade of alumina is selected to best fit the application.
Of our high purity aluminas our 99.96% material exhibits superior flexural strength and dielectric strengths making them excellent candidates for thin walled parts in high-voltage applications.
