Ceramics Macor®

General Properties: Machinable glass ceramic has a continuous use temperature of 800 degrees Centigrade. Its coefficient of thermal expansion readily matches most metals and sealing glasses. It is nonwetting, exhibits zero porosity, and unlike ductile materials, won't deform. It is an excellent insulator at high voltages, various frequencies and high tempretures, and when properly baked out won't outgas vacuum environments and is normally WHITE in color. It may be machined using standard metal working tools and operations including lathes, drills, mills and machining centers and has suprisingly tight tolerances up to .0005".

Characteristics
• Machinable with ordinary metalworking tools, good chemical resistance;
• High Dialectric strength, superior vacuum tightness;
• Strong dimensional strength, withstands temperatures of 1000-1800 centrigrade;

Industry Applications
Scientific applications, aerospace, experimental, medical, industrial. Can be used for nozzles, sensor housing, bearings, fixtures, guides, electrical insulators, thermal insolators.
