Macor Machinable Ceramic

The main advantages of Macor in machinable ceramics

The Macor produced by Corning Inc. has an advantage in processing because it can be operated using standard tools such as drills, saws, and lathes, while traditional ceramics require specialized equipment. This ability can reduce production time and costs.

Macor exhibits excellent thermal stability, preserving its dimensional integrity at elevated temperatures, which renders it an optimal selection for applications in high-temperature environments.

Macor serves as an exceptional electrical insulator, making it highly suitable for sensitive electronic applications.

The material exhibits significant corrosion resistance, enabling it to withstand exposure to a wide range of chemicals, thereby rendering it appropriate for use in harsh and reactive environments.

The processing of Macor allows for the production of intricate designs with stringent tolerances, which is essential for scientific instruments and optical applications.
