Aluminum Silicate
High Temperature Precision Machined Aluminum Silicate Ceramic
Machined in the green state, Wesgo/Duramic M120F Aluminum Silicate is fired to a hard, durable ceramic material with close dimensional tolerances. Wesgo/Duramic's process of precisely controlled heat treatment makes complicated ceramic parts available that are not possible by any other manufacturing method.
Typically, tooling is not required, therefore Wesgo/Duramic's manufacturing process is ideally suited to the manufacture of prototypes and custom designs.
RESISTANCE
To chemicals, wear and oxidation.
STRENGTH
both mechanical and dielectrical
STABILITY
lower thermal expansion
