Machinable Glass Ceramic Parts
- Product Details
Machinable glass ceramic is a fluorine rich
material (KMg3AlSi3O10F2) This is a material with low thermal conductivity. The machinable
glass ceramic could be used continuously at temperature of about 800 degree C. Like
most of other ceramics, the machinable glass is also an insulator for electric.
Since this material is machinable by normal tools, it is easy to be machined
into any shape including rods, tubes and parts on other equipment.
Due to the special manufacturing process
machinable glass has, it is generally considered as zero porosity (pore free)
and the thermal conductivity is low. It also has great thermal shock
resistance, due to the glass-ceramic structure.
Typical density of machinable glass is
2.5g/cm3, which is significantly lower than alumina and zirconia. It could be
used in high vacuum environment, such as laser equipment, semiconductor
industries and other electronic industries. Due to the resistance to high
temperature, the machinable glass material could be also used to make parts for
aerospace applications.
As a profession supplier of advanced
ceramics, QS Rare Elements also provide custom machined parts and
shapes made by machinable glass material and boron nitride as well.
Marco
is the trade mark of Corning’s machinable glass-ceramic material. The default
machinable glass we use has very similar properties with Marco but it’s not the
Marco machinable galss ceramic from Corning.
