Aluminum Oxide and Alumina Ceramics (Review). Part 2. Foreign Manufacturers of Alumina Ceramics. Technologies and Research in the Field of Alumina Ceramics1

  • Published:
Refractories and Industrial Ceramics Aims and scope

This paper contains information on foreign manufacturers of alumina ceramics, and mainly, fine technical ceramics. The data concerning mechanical, thermal, and dielectric properties of the products manufactured by different companies are presented. Several methods for producing Al2O3-based ceramics are considered with respect to future commercial production.

Notes

  1. The following sapphire manufacturers were listed: Ceratec, Goodfellow, Maret, MellerOptics, Saphikon.

  2. Typically, corundum ceramics implies ceramics with the Al2O3 content of 95% and above.

  3. More complete list can be found, for example, on the websites of the German and American ceramic societies in the section “Corporate Members” (https://www.dkg.de/en/members/companies/technical ceramics, http://ceramics.org/acers-community/corporate-members-2).

  4. The company was acquired by the private Turkish pension fund Oyak in 2015; no detailed technical information about its products is available on the company website.

  5. Linear density, 1 g per 9 km of length.

  6. In case of polymer gel, the resulting volumetric shrinkage may constitute 95% [65].

  7. Lanxide Corp. ceased operations in 1999 due to bankruptcy.

  8. Per 1 mol of initial Al at 25°C.
