Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: How does the 1 μm particle size influence sintering performance?
A1: The controlled 1 μm particle size increases surface area, promoting uniform densification and lower sintering temperatures. This higher reactivity enhances microstructure development and reduces porosity in the final ceramic product.

Q2: What quality control methods are applied during production?
A2: Quality control includes particle size analysis and chemical composition checks using X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy. These methods ensure consistency across production batches and maintain the specified material characteristics.

Q3: Is the alumina powder compatible with composite material formulations?
A3: Yes, the chemical inertness and uniform particle dispersion of the powder support its incorporation into composite materials, improving thermal management and mechanical reinforcement without adversely affecting the composite matrix.
