FAQS

What purity levels of alumina ceramic machining services do you offer?
We currently support precision machining of alumina (Al₂O₃) ceramics with purity levels of 99%, 99.2%, 99.5%, 99.7%, and 99.8%. Our capabilities include complex geometries and tight tolerance requirements.
What is the difference between low-purity and high-purity alumina?
The difference mainly lies in color, performance, and cost. High-purity alumina ceramics typically appear ivory or light beige, while lower-purity grades such as 95% are usually white. In terms of performance, high-purity alumina provides better mechanical strength, higher thermal conductivity, superior electrical insulation, and improved corrosion resistance. However, these advantages also make it more expensive. The final selection should be based on your specific application requirements and budget.

Can alumina ceramic parts be metallized?

Yes, alumina ceramic parts can be metallized to achieve reliable bonding with metals. In addition to metallization, we also offer surface coating, brazing, anti-static treatment, and conductive coating services to meet various application requirements.

Is there a minimum order quantity (MOQ) for alumina machining?
No, we do not have a standard minimum order quantity. We support both prototyping and small-to-medium batch production, providing flexible solutions to meet different project needs.
What is the minimum feature size you can achieve in alumina ceramic machining?
Currently, our alumina ceramic machining capabilities include a minimum wall thickness of 0.1 mm, a minimum hole diameter of 0.1 mm, a minimum slot width of 0.2 mm, and a minimum internal thread size of M1.6.

Macor is a machinable glass-ceramic made from fluorophlogopite mica crystals embedded in a borosilicate glass matrix. This composition gives it a rare
combination of metal-like machinability, excellent electrical insulation, low thermal conductivity, and stability up to 1000°C (no load) while maintaining very tight tolerances.
