Introduction
Alumina Ceramic (Al₂O₃) is an advanced industrial ceramic material
with alpha-alumina as its primary crystal phase. Renowned for its
exceptional hardness, outstanding electrical insulation, excellent
wear resistance, and chemical stability, it is considered the ideal
material for manufacturing high-performance wear-resistant
insulating supports. Sintered through a rigorous powder metallurgy
process, it operates reliably in harsh environments with high
demands for durability, making it an indispensable component in
modern industry.
Applications
Alumina ceramic supports are widely used in demanding applications
that require a combination of mechanical support, electrical
insulation, and wear resistance:
Electronics & Electrical Industry: Vacuum circuit breaker insulators, support components for high-voltage switch tubes, insulating spacers for PCBs, wafer handling arms in semiconductor equipment.
Industrial Machinery: Rollers for high-temperature kilns, wear-resistant guides and liners for conveyor lines, bearings for precision machinery, yarn guides in textile machinery.
Medical Devices: Insulating and wear-resistant components in medical analytical equipment.
Aerospace: Insulating protective sleeves and support parts for various sensors.
Advantages
Exceptional Wear Resistance: Hardness second only to diamond, with a service life 266 times longer than manganese steel, far exceeding that of metal materials.
Excellent Electrical Insulation: High electrical resistivity and low dielectric loss at high frequencies, effectively isolating high voltage and ensuring equipment safety.
Outstanding Mechanical Strength: High compressive strength, capable of withstanding significant mechanical loads without deformation.
Good Thermal Stability: High-temperature resistance and low coefficient of thermal expansion, allowing for long-term use in environments up to 1500°C.
Superior Corrosion Resistance: Resists corrosion from most acids, alkalis, and organic solvents, and will never rust.

Usage Instructions
Installation: Ensure force is applied evenly during installation. Avoid sharp point impacts or direct striking with hard objects; a nylon or rubber mallet is recommended.
Mating: Avoid direct sliding contact with materials of similar or higher hardness (e.g., silicon carbide, diamond). It is recommended to pair with softer metals (e.g., copper, aluminum) or engineering plastics.

FAQ
Q1: Is alumina ceramic brittle? Will it break easily?
A: Yes, brittleness is a common characteristic of ceramic
materials, meaning they have low impact resistance. However, their
compressive strength is extremely high. Therefore, designs and
applications should avoid subjecting them to tensile stress and
sharp mechanical shock.
Q2: Can you customize non-standard sizes and shapes based on
drawings?
A: Absolutely. We support custom orders based on provided drawings.
Utilizing advanced CNC grinding machines, we can manufacture
high-precision ceramic components in various complex shapes.
Q3: Which is better, alumina ceramic or zirconia ceramic?
A: Each has its advantages. Zirconia ceramic has higher fracture
toughness and better impact resistance, but its hardness and wear
resistance are slightly lower than high-purity alumina, and it is
more expensive. The choice depends on the priorities of the
specific application.
