Easily machinable using conventional metalworking tools.
Macor glass ceramic properties.
A versatile ceramic material with technical strength and insulation properties exceeding high performance plastics.
In vacuum systems where the temperature exceeds 600 c fluorine evolution will occur manifesting itself as boron trifluoride or hydrofluoric acid.
Its coefficient of thermal expansion readily matches most metals and sealing glasses.
Macor machinable glass ceramic mgc has a continuous use temperature of 800oc and a peak temperature of 1000oc.
Macor is usable in an air atmosphere to 1000 c.
It is non wetting exhibits zero porosity and unlike ductile materials won t deform.
It is an excellent insulator at high voltages various frequencies and high temperatures.
Unlike other ceramics macor can be machined with ordinary met.
Macor is a mica glass ceramic material with a unique combination of properties.
