Application of high purity alumina ceramics:
1. Applied to semiconductor equipment: ceramic vacuum chuck, cutting disc, cleaning disc, ceramic CHUCK.
2. Wafer transfer parts: wafer handling chucks, wafer cutting discs, wafer cleaning discs, wafer optical inspection suction cups.
3. LED / LCD flat panel display industry: ceramic nozzle, ceramic grinding disc, LIFT PIN, PIN rail.
4. Optical communication, solar industry: ceramic tubes, ceramic rods, circuit board screen printing ceramic scrapers.
5. Heat-resistant and electrically insulating parts: ceramic bearings.
At present, aluminum oxide ceramics can be divided into high purity and common ceramics. The high purity aluminum oxide ceramics series refers to the ceramic material containing more than 99.9% Al₂O₃. Because of its sintering temperature of up to 1650 - 1990°C and its transmission wavelength of 1 ~ 6μm, it is usually processed into fused glass instead of platinum crucible: which can be used as sodium tube owing to its light transmittance and corrosion resistance to alkali metal. In the electronics industry, it can be used as the high-frequency insulating material for IC substrates. According to different contents of aluminum oxide, the common aluminum oxide ceramic series can be divided into 99 ceramics, 95 ceramics, 90 ceramics and 85 ceramics. Sometimes, the ceramics with 80% or 75% of aluminum oxide is also classified as common aluminum oxide ceramic series. Among them, 99 aluminum oxide ceramic material is used to produce high-temperature crucible, fireproofing furnace tube and special wear-resistant materials, such as ceramic bearings, ceramic seals and valve plates. 95 aluminum ceramics is mainly used as corrosion-resistant wear-resisting part. 85 ceramics is often mixed in some properties, thereby improving electrical performance and mechanical strength. It can use molybdenum, niobium, tantalum and other metal seals, and some are used as electric vacuum devices.

* MgO is not included in the calculation of purity of Al₂O₃.
* No scaling powder 29.4MPa (300kg/cm²), sintering temperature is 1600°C.
AES-11 / 11C / 11F: Add 0.05 ~ 0.1% MgO, the sinterability is excellent, so it is applicable to aluminum oxide ceramics with the purity of more than 99%.
AES-22S: Characterized by high forming density and low shrinking rate of sintering line, it is applicable to slip form casting and other large-scale products with required dimensional accuracy.
AES-23 / AES-31-03: It has a higher forming density, thixotropy and a lower viscosity than AES-22S. the former is used to ceramics while the latter is used as water reducer for fireproofing materials, gaining popularity.
