AmAlOx 68 alumina (Astro
Met Aluminum Oxide)
is a high purity 99.8% aluminum oxide (alumina) ceramic which has been
developed and optimized for maximum wear resistance and corrosion resistance.
A high density, diamond like hardness, fine grain structure and superior
mechanical strength are the unique properties that make AmAlOx 68 alumina
the material of choice for a wide range of demanding applications. AmAlOx
68 alumina provides a cost-effective, engineered material solution in
applications that require the optimum in wear resistance, corrosion
resistance, high temperature stability, low thermal expansion, high
stiffness to weight ratio, high dielectric strength and biocompatibility.
Astro Met, a full service advanced ceramics manufacturer, produces both
as-fired and precision machined AmAlOx 68 alumina components to customer
requirements in both prototype and production quantities. The successful
use of AmAlOx 68 alumina components in numerous industries have enabled
Astro Met customers to solve existing problems and develop new products
and processes that otherwise would not have been possible with conventional
engineering materials.
