Alumina Al2O3 is the most important oxide-ceramic material and a significant module in our production programme.
- extreme hardness
- great to very great strength
- high to very high thermal conductivity
- very good insulating properties
- very resistant to wear
- very high chemical resistance
- high to max. refractoriness
Mechanically, chemically, thermally, electrically. you look at it. Alumina is simply the tops however.
These strengths pre-determine its use, for instance, in trigger insulators, pressure-resistant regulator parts, sliding and seal rings, axles, shafts, bearing shells and aerial shafts.
