Our standard alumina is a 99.8% alumina, which is fully dense. This has a low glass phase content for increased strength, toughness and durability. The high purity nature makes it ideal for high purity calcination and other high temperature process where contamination is paramount, such as in battery and biomedical fields.
Almath offers a fully dense, high purity, (99.2% MgO + Y2O3). Isostatic pressing avoids the introduction of water during manufacture, which MgO is known to react to increasing the design flexibility. MgO is ideally suited for melting alkali materials. Our high purity, pressed MgO crucibles are frequently used in the nuclear and green steel industry.
Our standard ZTA uses 10% zirconia added to alumina to cost effectively improve strength and toughness. We are able to increase the zirconia percentage to 30%, according to customer requirements.
Almath is able to develop any material to the required specifications. We are able to tailor porosity and composition and in the last year have developed several pressable grades of Ca stabilised zirconia and zirconia silicate.
