Macor® components
Macor® is mainly used for its machinable properties. Because it is softer than advanced ceramics, Macor® permits to achieve complex geometries more rapidly with the same level of accuracy. In addition to be able to be ground like other ceramics, Macor® can be machined with carbide tools which make drilling and milling easier.
MORE INFORMATION
Macor® is mainly used to manufacture the following products :
- tooling parts for production machinery
- insulators
- electrode carriers
- lens holders
- sensor carriers
Microcertec utilizes Macor® made by Corning. Macor® is a glass ceramic the chemical composition of which is mainly borosilicate to about 75 %, alumina and magnesia.
Macor® has the following properties :
- machinable
- good electrical insulation
- good thermal insulation
- dimension stability to about 800°c
- vacuum compatible
