Macor Glass Ceramic Properties

Macor is a machinable glass ceramic material that posses outstanding engineering properties.

Macor glass ceramic properties. Its coefficient of thermal expansion readily matches most metals and sealing glasses. Macor machinable glass ceramic thermal properties. Macor is a mica glass ceramic material with a unique combination of properties. Macor machinable glass ceramic applications.

In vacuum systems where the temperature exceeds 600 c fluorine evolution will occur manifesting itself as boron trifluoride or hydrofluoric acid. Macor exhibits good thermal shock resistance and mechanical toughness when compared to conventional glasses with similar thermal and mechanical properties. 200 c to 25 c. General macor machinable glass ceramic information.

Fast turnaround no post firing required. 46 sio2 16 al2o3 7 b2o3 10 k2o 17 mgo. It is non wetting exhibits zero porosity and unlike ductile materials won t deform. A versatile ceramic material with technical strength and insulation properties exceeding high performance plastics.

Unlike other ceramics macor can be machined with ordinary met. It is an excellent insulator at high voltages various frequencies and high temperatures.
