Aluminum oxide (Al2O3), usually shortened to alumina, is a technical ceramic used in a wide range of high-temperature applications. It is valued as having one of the greatest cost-to-performance ratios of all engineering ceramics and subsequently finds wide use in various thermal and vacuum processes. The challenge when designing with alumina is creating components with …
High-emissivity coating systems (such as high temperature black coating) have been identified as a means of improving energy efficiency and product quality when they are applied to refractory linings of industrial furnaces. Some furnaces, incinerators and heaters have been in service for over 20 years, however over time thermal coatings can fail due to thermal …
Adhesives with high thermal conductivity are known as thermally conductive adhesives, and are frequently used to dissipate heat from power electronics. These adhesives are synthetic resins or inorganic binders which are augmented with metallic or ceramic filler materials. The best thermal conduction coefficients are achieved using metallic fillers such as silver or nickel. However, these …
Here are some key questions you should ask when choosing high-temperature epoxies for tough specialty bonding and potting …
