FG-995 is a high-purity alumina ceramic with a nominal composition of 99.5% Al2O3. It exhibits a density of 3.90 g/cm¬= and demonstrates excellent mechanical properties, including a flexural strength of 360 MPa and a compressive strength of 2600 MPa at 20¬8C. The material has a hardness of 14.1 GPa and a fracture toughness ranging from 4 to 5 MPa m1/2, making it suitable for applications requiring high durability and resistance to wear. Thermally, FG-995 has a thermal conductivity of 30.0 W/m K and a coefficient of thermal expansion of 8.2 x 10^-6/¬8C, which indicates good thermal stability. Its dielectric properties include a dielectric strength of 8.7 kV/mm and a volume resistivity greater than 10^14 ohm-cm at room temperature, making it an effective electrical insulator. This alumina ceramic is manufactured using advanced processes, ensuring high-quality production suitable for both prototype development and high-volume applications. The material's properties make it ideal for use in demanding environments, including wear-resistant components and electrical insulators.
Aluminas (aluminum oxide, Al2O3) are the most commonly used technical ceramics due to their generally useful properties and good price/performance ratio. Alumina ceramics are commonly subdivided according to their alumina content ranging from 80% to more than 99%. Higher purity alumina demonstrates enhanced wear and corrosion resistance — creating a continuous scale of various alumina grades, compositions, and performance.
Aluminas are used in both general use and specialized applications. A grade is selected to fit the application environment. Alumina compositions and microstructures can be formulated to meet the specific performance requirements of more demanding applications.
