Using MACOR®Machinable glass ceramics maximize your potential

MACOR® machinable ceramic glass is a solution that stands out in the world of advanced materials. It offers a universal and unique solution for countless industrial applications. MACOR ®, created by Corning, combines technical ceramics with high-performance materials to deliver unparalleled performance and processability. This is why MACOR® should be your material of choice.

Performance and benefits of excellence

Multifunctionality and Processability: MACOR® Traditional metal processing tool can be used to machine, allowing rapid prototyping without expensive diamond tools or after sintering processes. The ability to quickly process the material means that manufacturing costs are reduced and delivery times are shortened.

Thermal and electrical insulation MACOR ®. MACOR's maximum operating temperatures in an oxidizing atmosphere are 800 degrees C and in an inert environment, 1000 degrees C. This makes it an excellent high temperature insulator. The low thermal conductivity (1.46W/mK), combined with its excellent electrical insulation properties, makes it a great choice for applications requiring reliable performance in extreme conditions.

MACOR® is dimensionally stable. Unlike other high-temperature materials, MACOR® will not deform or creep. The dimensional stability of MACOR® under different temperatures and environments, including exposure to radiation, ensures a precise and consistent performance. It is therefore suitable for components in aerospace and electronics, medical equipment and other fields.

Zero porosity: MACOR® exhibits zero porousness, meaning it won't degass or absorb moisture. This is a crucial characteristic for applications that require ultra-high vacuum environments and semiconductor manufacturing.

Radiation resistance - This material's radiation resistance makes it ideal for use in nuclear research and high radiation environments where the material integrity is critical.

Applications across industries

MACOR®is used widely in many industries because of its multifunctionality:

Aerospace: MACOR Space Shuttle Orbiters r Components like retaining rings and precision pieces are vital due to their resistance to thermal shock and stability.

Semiconductor/Electronics: MACOR® Used for high-precision fixtures and insulators, thanks to its low thermal conductivity and electrical insulation.

Medical and laboratory equipment. The material's processability and cleanliness make it a great choice for precision medical instruments, which ensures consistent performance and patient security.

Laser system: MACOR ®. Suitable for components of laser systems.

Radiation resistance is critical for components used in energy production and nuclear research.

Why choose MACOR®?

Choosing MACOR® means utilizing the benefits of a material which is easy to work with, can resist harsh environments and maintains its integrity in extreme conditions. The combination of its performance makes it a preferred choice among engineers and designers around the world.
