Product Feature:
*Machinable with ordinary metal working tools
*No-need for post firing
*High using temperature up to 1000℃ and continuous using temperature is 800℃
*Low thermal conductivity
*High electrical insulation

                                                    
Compared to traditional ceramic materials, machinable glass ceramic is a much more economical choice, it offers researchers, product designers and machinists the opportunity to quickly and accurately make high precision parts that are machinable with ordinary metal working tools and do not require any post-firing after machining has been
completed, removing a production process and potentially reducing costs.

                                                        
Machining of Machinable Glass Ceramic
The most typical feature is its machinability, it can reach high accuracy without mold, will greatly reduce design and processing cycle. With ordinary metal working tools, various parts of complex shape can be completed by turning, milling, planing, drilling, grinding, cutting and tapping, and can reach a high precision. No special tool or equipment is needed.

                                                       
Application of Machinable Glass Ceramic
1. On machinability: electrical and thermal insulation pads, insulating supports, heat supports for mechanical equipment
2. On electrical insulation: key parts for lightning
3. On thermal shock resistance: soldering fixture, secondary forming mold for optical glass
4. On ultra-low vacuum outgassing rate: vacuum coating supports for vacuum equipment or photovoltaic industry
5. On corrosion resistance: Introduced rods, hanging for crude oil desalting electrode
6. On electromagnetic property: bobbins for missile gyroscopes
