Wesgo/Duramic, a business of Morgan Technical Ceramics, showcases its Alumina Ceramics, M120F Aluminum Silicate, and MACOR® Machinable Glass Ceramic material at the Design-2-Part Show at the Royal Plaza Trade Center in Marlborough, Massachusetts, November 5 - 6, 2008, in booth #540.

Wesgo/Duramic will showcase its alumina ceramics, which are custom fabricated to meet customer specifications in a variety of industries, including medical, aerospace, telecommunications and defense. The alumina ceramic materials range in purity from 94% alumina (AL-500) to 99.5% alumina (AL-995). For good wear resistance, especially in applications involving the medical industry, Wesgo/Duramic offers the 96% alumina (AL-600). For metallization of ceramics, 94% alumina (AL-500) and 97.6% alumina (AL-300) materials are offered, while the 99.5% alumina (AL-995) material is ideal for applications requiring chemical resistance.

Also on exhibit is M120F, a durable aluminum silicate ceramic based on natural lava, which is able to be machined into intricate shapes and held to very close dimensional tolerances. M120F is an excellent choice for jigs and brazing fixtures, as well as for use in brazing, alloying, soldering, welding and glass sealing. Benefits include excellent chemical, oxidation and wear resistance, as well as superior thermal shock resistance and mechanical strength, with a high working temperature of up to 1150° C.

Additionally, Wesgo/Duramic will showcase MACOR, a Machinable Glass Ceramic material produced by Corning Inc. Widely used in aerospace, medical, welding and other industries and applications with high temperature, high vacuum, and high electrical resistance requirements, MACOR is quickly and inexpensively machined into intricate and precision parts. These parts meet specifications with ordinary metal working tools, not costly diamond tools, and require no post firing after machining. MACOR is a registered trademark of Corning Incorporated, Corning, NY 14831. Morgan Technical Ceramics is an approved distributor of MACOR (Buy MACOR Standard Shapes Online).

Wesgo/Duramic is the leading supplier of complex, precision engineered ceramic components for semiconductor, medical, vacuum, electrical and mechanical applications. The company is able to offer design assistance and customized solutions.
