What do you know about Macor

Macor produced by Corning Inc. is widely used as a recognized high-performance material, but do you really know about it

Macor is an amorphous glass ceramic material composed of both glass and crystalline phases, with a glassy amorphous structure and partially crystalline properties. It is a special material composed of 55% fluorophlogopite and 45% borosilicate glass.

Material characteristic analysis:

High temperature stability: Macor has excellent high temperature stability and can maintain stability in long-term high temperature environments. Its maximum operating temperature can reach around 800 ° C to 1000 ° C.

Mechanical performance: It has good mechanical strength and hardness, and can withstand large mechanical stresses without being easily broken or deformed.

Chemical stability: It has excellent corrosion resistance and high resistance to acid, alkali and other chemical substances, making it suitable for use in complex chemical environments.

Easy to process: Macor ceramics can be processed into complex shapes and structures through traditional mechanical processing methods, such as milling, drilling, grinding, etc., with good processing plasticity and accuracy.
