    Aluminum Oxide, Al2O3 Ceramic Properties

    Alumina is one of the most cost effective and widely used material in the family of
    engineering ceramics. The raw materials from which this high performance technical grade
    ceramic is made are readily available and reasonably priced, resulting in good value for the
    cost in fabricated alumina shapes. With an excellent combination of properties and an
    attractive price, it is no surprise that fine grain technical grade alumina has a very wide
    range of applications.

    .Key Properties
    Hard, wear-resistant
    Excellent dielectric properties from DC to GHz frequencies
    Resists strong acid and alkali attack at elevated temperatures
    Good thermal conductivity
    Excellent size and shape capability
    High strength and stiffness
    Available in purity ranges from 94%, an easily metallizable composition, to 99.8% for
    the most demanding high temperature applications.
    .

    Typical Uses

    General Information

    Aluminum oxide, commonly referred to as alumina, possesses strong ionic interatomic


    bonding giving rise to it’s desirable material characteristics. It can exist in several
    crystalline phases which all revert to the most stable hexagonal alpha phase at elevated
    temperatures. This is the phase of particular interest for structural applications and the
    material available from Accuratus.

    Alpha phase alumina is the strongest and stiffest of the oxide ceramics. Its high hardness,
    excellent dielectric properties, refractoriness and good thermal properties make it the
    material of choice for a wide range of applications.

    High purity alumina is usable in both oxidizing and reducing atmospheres to 1925°C.
    Weight loss in vacuum ranges from 10–7 to 10–6 g/cm2.sec over a temperature range of
    1700° to 2000°C. It resists attack by all gases except wet fluorine and is resistant to all
    common reagents except hydrofluoric acid and phosphoric acid. Elevated temperature
    attack occurs in the presence of alkali metal vapors particularly at lower purity levels.

    The composition of the ceramic body can be changed to enhance particular desirable
    material characteristics. An example would be additions of chrome oxide or manganese
    oxide to improve hardness and change color. Other additions can be made to improve the
    ease and consistency of metal films fired to the ceramic for subsequent brazed and soldered
    assembly.
