Al2o3 ceramic applications.

Aluminium oxide iupac name or aluminum oxide american english is a chemical compound of aluminium and oxygen with the chemical formula al 2 o 3 it is the most commonly occurring of several aluminium oxides and specifically identified as aluminium iii oxide it is commonly called alumina and may also be called aloxide aloxite or alundum depending on particular forms or applications. It has the same sintered crystal body as sapphire and ruby. Alumina or aluminum oxide al2o3 in its various levels of purity is used more often than any other advanced ceramic material. Aluminum oxide can be used in the following applications.

Used for making parts for cvd ion implants photolithography and semiconductor parts. This material has superb material characteristics such as high electrical insulation high mechanical strength high wear and chemical resistance. Aluminium oxide is an electrical insulator but has a relatively high thermal conductivity its hardness makes it suitable for use as an abrasive and as a component in cutting tools. Alumina oxide ceramics al2o3 is the most widely used fine ceramics material.

It has been used for decades in electrical components for its high electrical insulation and is widely used in mechanical parts for its high strength and corrosion and wear resistance. It is found in nature as corundum in emery topaz amethyst and emerald and as the precious gemstones ruby and sapphire but it is from the more abundant ores such as bauxite cryolite and clays that the material is commercially extracted and purified. Alumina is the more common name of aluminium oxide al2o3 and is a hard wearing material used for many applications.
