AC9982 Aluminum Titanate Ceramic Rod

Aluminium Titanate Ceramic Rod Description

Aluminium Titanate Ceramic Rod is composed of Al2TiO5, recognised for its low thermal conductivity and high capacity to withstand rapid temperature variations. The rod is produced using a controlled sintering process that optimises microstructure and stabilises the Al2TiO5 phase, reducing microcracks under thermal stress. Its customised dimensions facilitate integration into systems with specific thermal management requirements, while its chemical inertness supports performance in corrosive environments.

Aluminium Titanate Ceramic Rod Applications

1.       Industrial Applications
   - Used as a thermal insulation barrier in high-temperature furnaces to control heat transfer by leveraging low thermal conductivity.
   - Applied as a structural support in kiln assemblies to address thermal expansion issues through stable phase behaviour.

2.       Electronics Applications
   - Used as a substrate in sensor packaging to maintain dimensional accuracy during rapid temperature cycling by leveraging controlled microstructural characteristics.
   - Frequently employed in circuit isolation systems to manage thermal gradients by exploiting the material’s inherent low thermal conductivity.

Aluminium Titanate Ceramic Rod Packing

Aluminium Titanate Ceramic Rods are packaged in foam-lined, moisture-barrier containers with anti-static properties to mitigate contamination and mechanical stress during transit. The rods are sealed in dust-resistant wrapping and marked with batch identifiers for traceability. Storage conditions recommend a dry, temperature-controlled environment. Custom packaging solutions with vacuum sealing or additional cushioning layers can be arranged based on specific handling requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: How does the controlled sintering process impact rod performance?
A1: The controlled sintering process refines the microstructure by promoting uniform grain growth and stabilises the Al2TiO5 phase. This approach minimises microcrack formation during thermal cycling, thereby enhancing the rod’s performance under thermal stress.

Q2: What customisation options exist for the rod’s dimensions?
A2: The rod is offered with customised dimensions tailored to specific equipment requirements. Precise machining ensures that the rod integrates into applications with non-standard geometries while maintaining its inherent structural and thermal properties.

Q3: What quality control measures are implemented during production?
A3: Quality control involves X-ray diffraction for phase analysis and scanning electron microscopy for microstructural evaluation. These measures verify the material composition and structural uniformity, ensuring the product adheres to stringent technical specifications before shipment.
