Aluminum atoms possess 13 electrons that aren’t tightly bound by their nuclei and can move around freely – an attribute known as conductivity that makes aluminum an effective electrical insulator. Alumina offers outstanding electrical insulation alongside other desirable properties such as mechanical rigidity, chemical resilience and high temperature operability. As such, it has long been […]

Aluminum oxide (AlO) is an inert mineral compound with the formula AlO, used widely in glass production as well as for rapid strength development at low temperatures and superior chemical resistance in refractory cements. Sodium aluminate is commonly used as a cement accelerator to speed up construction technology work times and reduce open working times,

Alumina powder can be processed into different shapes, sizes and grades depending on its intended use. At FEECO Innovation Center we can accommodate various methods of agglomeration (pelletizing) as well as high temperature thermal processing to customize an alumina product according to its intended use. Alumina ceramic is widely used in military vehicles and structures

Aluminum trailers provide an effective means of transportation. Their advantages over steel make them the superior choice. But what is the truth of it all? Steel starts as iron ore and wants to return there – treatments such as galvanizing and painting may delay this process but won’t stop it completely. Lightweight One of the

Alumina ceramic is an extremely hard and strong material with many applications, from high temperature furnaces to manufacturing tools, abrasives and cutting products. Furthermore, this material boasts excellent wear resistance. ACI-99.5 alumina is ideal for crafting ceramic-to-metal feedthroughs and hermetic components used in electron tube assemblies such as X-ray tubes. Furthermore, it can also be

Silicon carbide (SiC) is an extremely hard, synthetically produced crystalline compound of silicon and carbon that finds applications across industries including refractory linings for industrial furnaces, high temperature petrochemical applications and semiconductor electronics substrates. Black silicon carbide is a tough yet friable abrasive material commonly used for processing low-tensile strength materials like glass and stone.

Service technicians often feel that silicon carbide igniters are too fragile to handle safely, and are concerned that hand oils could wreak havoc with them. These ignitors are very reliable. When powered with 120 volts, they light up red hot and start the flow of gas into the furnace, lighting it up. Long Lifespan Hot

These tough, corrosion-resistant devices can be tailored specifically to the design of your furnace. Keith Company provides various silicon carbide heating elements tailored to specific industrial applications, such as the GC Type. This element was designed for continuous high temperature operations

Moissanite, an naturally-occurring form of silicon carbide (SiC), can be found as inclusions in meteorites, corundum deposits and rare kimberlites. Moissanite can also be created artificially using traditional sintering and hot pressing techniques in a laboratory environment. Moissanite gemstones used in jewelry are generally manufactured synthetically in laboratories. Here is how this remarkable gemstone comes

Silicon carbide is an extremely hard material that lies somewhere between alumina and diamond on the Mohs scale, offering exceptional strength, corrosion resistance, durability, strength, high melting point and other engineering advantages that make it perfect for challenging engineering applications. Impurities called doping agents can also impart semi-conducting properties. Nitrogen and phosphorus doping creates an
