Alumina Ceramic Disc, Aluminium Oxide Disc, Al2O3 Disc 99.5%, Dia. 76 mm Packing

The ceramic disc is individually packaged in an anti-static, cushioned container to minimise physical impact and contamination. A protective foam layer secures the disc during transit, while the packaging is designed for storage in a controlled environment free of moisture and rapid temperature changes. Custom packaging options, including compartmentalised inserts and specific labelling, are available to accommodate specialised handling requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: How does the sintering process affect the disc’s mechanical properties?
A1: The controlled sintering process reduces porosity and achieves a uniform microstructure, which enhances the material’s compressive strength and overall dimensional stability during stress.

Q2: What storage conditions are recommended for this alumina disc?
A2: The disc should be stored in a dry, stable temperature environment with minimal humidity to preserve its microstructural integrity and prevent moisture-induced surface degradation.

Q3: How does alumina’s chemical inertness benefit its industrial use?
A3: The chemical inertness of alumina ensures consistent performance in corrosive environments, preventing unwanted reactions and extending the lifespan of components in high-temperature and chemically aggressive applications.

Additional Information

Alumina ceramics are central to many industrial and electronic applications due to their high melting point, hardness, and exceptional electrical insulation properties. Research in ceramic materials continuously improves processing techniques, aiming for reduced defects and enhanced surface finishes, which directly affect the material’s operational stability.

Understanding the relationship between processing parameters and resultant material properties is vital. Advances in sintering technology and microstructural analysis have led to more predictable performance in demanding applications, fostering development in sectors that require both mechanical resilience and thermal management.
