MACOR® Machineable Glass Ceramic
MACOR® Machineable Glass Ceramic has the unique properties of being able to be used in a continuous temperature of 800ºC and a peak temperature of 1000ºC.
The material has zero porosity and is an excellent voltage insulator at high voltages, it also has the added advantage if baked out correctly that it will not out gas in a Vacuum environment.
It can be machined into complicated shapes and precision parts with ordinary metal working tools, this can be done quickly, does not require expensive diamond tooling, and it requires no post firing after machining. That means no long delays, no expensive hardware, no post fabrication shrinkage.
Because Macor has the unique properties to be used in many applications, please speak to our technical sales staff who will able to advise you on your application and design.
