Aluminum Oxide
Robust and Heat-Resistant: This Material defies Extreme Conditions

Aluminum Oxide (Al2O3)

Aluminium oxide (Al2O3) in its various degrees of purity is the most frequently used high-performance ceramic material.CeramTec has a whole range of material types with different property profiles, which are adjusted through targeted microstructure design.Both coarse-grained and fine-grained variants are available.

Aluminium oxide (Al₂O₃) is characterised by high hardness, thermal stability and exceptional corrosion resistance. Due to its high electrical insulation capacity and thermal conductivity, it is often used in electronics, particularly for substrates and insulating materials. In medical technology, it is used as an implant material due to its biocompatibility and wear resistance. Aluminium oxide also plays an important role in future technologies such as semiconductor production and energy storage, for example as a protective layer in batteries. Another speciality is its resistance to chemical attack and its use as an abrasive due to its hardness.
