Alumina ceramic is one of the hardest materials known, even harder than tool steel and tungsten carbide. Due to its exceptional hardness, alumina ceramic makes an excellent material choice for use in applications involving extreme wear such as mill and chute linings, bearings, or any parts exposed to harsh environments and mechanical stress.
Ceramic material also has superior chemical stability, resisting attack from strong acids, alkalis and solvents – providing it with enough resilience to withstand corrosion even under harsh and corrosive conditions where other materials would buckle under. This durability enables ceramic to withstand corrosion even in harsh and corrosive environments where other materials might fail.
Alumina ceramics are well suited to manufacturing cutting tools due to their hardness. Their abrasion resistance and toughness also make them suitable for industrial cutting applications where friction between the cutting edge and workpiece is important. Alumina ceramic material can even be translucent by adding small amounts of magnesia into its formulation – this material often serves as gas containers in high-pressure sodium vapour street lamps.
Alumina stands out among other materials due to its superior compressive strength, which is several times greater than fused quartz and porcelain. This high compressive strength enables alumina to resist distortion under load, as well as provide long service lives in structural applications. Furthermore, this exceptional strength gives alumina excellent dimensional stability which is especially advantageous in applications where maintaining consistent dimensions is important.
Ceramic has an extremely high melting point and very low expansion coefficient, making it suitable for creating complex-shaped parts and large components with ease. Molding techniques may include hot pressing, dry pressing or cold forming to produce its final form.
Alumina comes in various grades, from smelter-grade through to calcined, reactive and high purity grades. When mixed with zirconia it forms CeramAlloy ZTA; an extremely hard material with superior fracture toughness characteristics.
Aluminum PCB spacers offer a more cost-effective mounting solution than their steel counterparts, providing more durable mounting solutions and increased acceleration and fuel efficiency. Their lightweight nature can further aid acceleration.
Resistance to Corrosion
Aluminum wheel spacers are increasingly popular among car owners for their durability and aesthetic value. These spaces separate fasteners on each wheel from coming into contact, preventing undesirable chemical reactions from taking place between them and each other. Lighter than steel spacers, aluminum ones provide faster acceleration and agility as well as higher corrosion tolerance than their steel counterparts.
Alumina ceramic material is one of the hardest and most wear-resistant substances available, used widely across a range of technical ceramic applications due to its superior physical and electrical properties, such as high strength, dielectric properties and wear resistance. Furthermore, alumina boasts excellent corrosion resistance when exposed to moisture or oxygen and features low porosity and thermal conductivity for increased versatility as a material choice.
Alumina is frequently utilized as a substrate for integrated circuits and high-frequency insulation due to its highly electrically insulating qualities and minimal transmission loss, as well as resistance against radiation, abrasion, and radiation damage. Alumina-Zirconia (ZTA) ceramic composites offer unique properties combining hardness, strength, wear resistance, corrosion resistance, fracture toughness characteristics of zirconia components with those found in Alumina material components.
Spacers made from green, biscuit or fully dense alumina can be milled to tight tolerances using CNC equipment. However, using diamond tools and extensive grinding is expensive for small quantities of this material, so in order to reduce production costs alumina is often combined with other hardwearing and easy-to-machine materials like macor machinable glass ceramic.
Machined alumina-Zirconia spacers require less labor than their alumina counterparts and are much simpler to cut, grind, and polish; this results in lower production costs and faster lead times as well as extremely durable spacesrs that withstand abrasion, impact, vibration and other forms of wear and tear.
Though the market for alumina spacers is growing quickly, certain factors could hinder its expansion. These may include:

Alumina is an excellent material to use for electrical insulation because of its exceptional mechanical and thermal stability, being resistant to high temperatures without being affected by acids or alkalis corrosion, as well as being extremely dense which allows it to effectively block electric currents – an invaluable characteristic when manufacturing electronics as it protects sensitive components from electromagnetic interference (EMI).
Alumina boasts the ability to withstand high levels of radiation, making it ideal for use in nuclear power plant equipment and medical devices as well as serving as a substrate for LED crystal growth.
Alumina is an ideal material for producing PCB spacers. It can be formed into any desired shape or size through various methods, including uniaxial (die) pressing, isostatic pressing, injection molding, extrusion and slip casting – giving Kyocera the capability to manufacture any size or shape required by customers. Alumina’s superior machinability, corrosion resistance and thermal conductivity make it a superior alternative to macor; however macor is vulnerable to thermal shock so should only be used in environments that will involve rapid heating/cooling cycles; for these situations alumina zirconia ceramic (Shapale) may provide better alternatives.
Thermal Conductivity
A ceramic spacer should limit the transfer of thermal energy, using materials with low thermal conductivity such as Alumina to do this job effectively. Alumina also boasts excellent resistance against corrosion and provides outstanding mechanical strength for this application.
Alumina is distinguished by its linear expansion and high dimensional stability, making it ideal for high temperature environments. Furthermore, alumina spacers have excellent thermal shock resistance; they can withstand temperature variations up to 1350degC without suffering thermal shock damage; additionally they’re resistant to oxidation as well as being suitable for use in applications with potential for wear-and-tear wear.
Alumina spacers are suitable for medical applications. Available as medical-grade alumina ceramic, with purity levels up to 99.8%, these spacers offer optimal density and porosity results when used. This grade of alumina contains up to 0.5% of sintering additives like Magnesium and Chromium oxides for enhanced results in terms of density and porosity.
Alumina not only excels in terms of its abrasion resistance and wear-resistance, but its chemical compatibility makes it the ideal material for contact with various substances – its superior wettability surpassing that of metal alloys! Therefore, alumina makes an excellent material choice for applications such as coatings, seals and gaskets.
Insulating windows made with aluminium spacers typically feature thermal transmittance Ug of about 2.8 W/m2K; by switching out for something more suitable such as alumina spacers or increasing to three layers, energy consumption can be drastically reduced – providing significant cost savings. Insulating window production typically utilized two layers of glass separated by an aluminium spacer – but switching these out for triple windows with significantly improved Ug values of around 0.8 W/m2K could make a substantial impactful difference to energy use overall.
Kyocera produces alumina ceramic spacers with exceptional combination of properties. They’re used in numerous applications ranging from needles and ceramic-to-metal bonding, to textile machine needles that withstand wear-and-tear, as abrasion resistant nozzles, ESD safe tweezers for handling elements that are sensitive to electrostatic breakdown, abrasion-resistant textile machines nozzles and textile machine abrasion resistant nozzles and even ESD safe tweezers to handle elements which require delicate handling.
