UNBRANDED 7156273 CERAMIC SHEET, MACOR, 10MM0X100X5MM
The is a Macor® machinable glass Ceramic Sheet can be machined into complicated shapes and precision parts with ordinary metalworking tools, avoiding the need for expensive diamond tooling. Its coefficient of thermal expansion readily matches most metals and sealing glasses. With a maximum operating temperature of 1000°C and a maximum continuous operating temperature of 800°C. It is ideal for high temperature applications. It is non-wetting, exhibits zero porosity and unlike ductile material will not deform. Machining tolerances are surprisingly tight, up to 0.013mm and it can be machined to a surface finish of less than 0.5µm and polished to a smoothness of 0.013µm. Configurations are limited only by the available equipment and the experience of the machinist. Macor® can be joined or sealed, both to itself and to other materials, in a number of different ways, metallised parts may be soldered, epoxy provides a strong joint and sealing glass creates a vacuum tight seal.
