Aluminium oxide ceramics

Aluminium oxide ceramics

Key properties of aluminum oxide (Al2O3):


  • High hardness;
  • High thermal conductivity;
  • High corrosion resistance;
  • Low density;
  • Robustness at high temperatures; 
  • Electric insulation properties;
  • Low cost in comparison with other ceramic materials


The main areas of use from corundum (aluminum oxide):


  • Facing of consumable hardware;
  • End seal rings;
  • Drain bushings, wiring, guiding beams;
  • Roller balls;
  • Milling fittings;
  • Burners;
  • Crucibles;
  • Valve components and shut-offs;
  • Nozzles for argon arc welding machines;
  • Electric insulators;

There are few modifications of aluminum oxide depending on the main phase of impurities that differ in strength and chemical stability.
