Easy to process macor grade machinable glass ceramic rod for industry insulation

Product Core Advantages

Macor grade machinable glass ceramics are a new type of inorganic non-metallic material with unique properties. The most remarkable feature of this material is that it can be machined using common metal processing tools for operations such as cutting, drilling, and milling, enabling the production of highly precise parts with complex shapes.

The core advantages of  macor grade machinable glass ceramics:

• Macor grade machinable glass ceramics Processability: The prominent feature is that it can be processed using standard metal processing tools and equipment through operations such as turning, milling, planing, grinding, drilling, sawing, and tapping.
• Macor grade machinable glass ceramics Electrical properties: It is an excellent high-temperature electrical insulating material that can be applied in many electrical devices. It has high electrical insulation strength, volume resistance, and low dielectric loss.
• Macor grade machinable glass ceramics Thermal properties: It is a high-temperature resistant insulating material and also a corrosion-resistant electrical insulating material that can be used in low-temperature environments. Its application range is from -270℃ to +800℃.
• Macor grade machinable glass ceramics, with their unique machinability and comprehensive outstanding physical and chemical properties, offer unprecedented convenience and possibilities to designers and engineers in the high-tech field. While simplifying the manufacturing process of complex parts, it ensures that the products can operate stably in extreme environments.

Application Fields

• Aerospace and defense industry

In this field where the requirements for material performance are extremely strict, machinable ceramics play a crucial role due to their characteristics of high temperature resistance, thermal shock resistance, light weight and high strength.

• High-precision components

Used for manufacturing high-precision non-magnetic structural frames, sensor components, and insulation parts for vacuum equipment in aerospace applications.

• Semiconductors and High-End Electronics Manufacturing

The semiconductor industry has extremely strict requirements for the purity, cleanliness, electrical insulation, and vacuum properties of materials. Ceramic processing is almost indispensable in this field.

• Wafer and display panel manufacturing

In semiconductor and FPD (flat panel display) manufacturing processes, processed ceramics are used to manufacture inspection components and micro-processing insulating components.

• Electro-vacuum devices

Due to their extremely low gas emission rate and excellent electrical insulation properties, they are an excellent choice for insulating components in electro-vacuum devices such as electron beam exposure machines, mass spectrometers, and energy spectrometers.

• High-voltage insulation

It can be used for ultra-high-voltage insulation components in fields such as motors.

• Medical and Precision Instruments

It can be used to manufacture components of medical equipment and scientific instruments. For some thin-walled, complex-shaped and highly precise devices, ceramics can be processed into any shape, meeting the demanding design requirements.

Precautions

• Processing techniques and precision control:

• The materials that can be processed into ceramics are brittle and hard. Therefore, it is necessary to reasonably determine the processing techniques, clamping methods, and accurately select the cutting amount to prevent chipping or cracking.
• When processed on general equipment, the tolerance level can be controlled at IT7 grade, the surface roughness can reach 0.5 micrometers, and the processing accuracy can be controlled within 0.005 millimeters. If the equipment is of high quality and the operation is proficient, the precision can even reach the micrometer (μ) level.

• Safety usage:

• The processed ceramics themselves are safe and stable under normal usage conditions. However, it should be noted that if the ceramic products (especially household ceramics) have glaze on the surface, be cautious of the metal elements that may be contained in the glaze.
• For ceramic products with cracks (such as tableware), it is recommended to stop using them because the cracks may make the internal substances more likely to be released or hide dirt.
• For household ceramics, newly purchased glazed tableware can be soaked in vinegar for one day before use. This helps fix the glaze surface and reduce potential risks.

• Differences from other ceramic processes:

• The processed ceramics mentioned here mainly refer to microcrystalline mica glass ceramics. While in traditional pottery workshops, the ceramics (such as pottery and porcelain) involved (such as pottery, porcelain) require attention to occupational protection issues such as inhalation of silica dust during raw material preparation (including clay) and glazing processes, which are different concepts from the machining of already formed processed ceramic materials.
