We offer ceramic parts made of alumina with the purity from 95% and 99.8% (NON-POROUS). High purity Alumina Ceramics are particularly suitable for applications where the working enviroments have very strict requirment about abrasion or corrosion resistance. And due to its excellent thermal stability (stable chemical properties and low thermal expansion), alumina ceramics can be used in an environment that temperature drastic changes.
