Alumina Ceramic (Al₂O₃) – Precision Ceramic Components

High-Performance Alumina / Aluminum Oxide Ceramics

Alumina ceramic, also known as aluminum oxide (Al₂O₃), is one of the most widely used advanced ceramic materials due to its combination of high electrical insulation, mechanical strength, thermal stability, chemical resistance, and dimensional stability.

Coraynic Technology Limited supplies alumina ceramic materials in several purity grades, including A-95, A-97, A-99, and A-99.8, allowing material selection according to electrical, mechanical, thermal, chemical, and application-specific requirements.

Our alumina ceramics can be manufactured into precision ceramic components, substrates, insulating parts, tubes, rings, discs, feedthrough components, and customized structures. We also provide metallized alumina ceramics and alumina ceramic-to-metal sealing assemblies for applications requiring soldering, brazing, hermetic sealing, or integration with metallic components.

With precision manufacturing capabilities down to the micrometer level, Coraynic supports both customized prototypes and volume production according to customer drawings, specifications, or samples.
