What does alumina in glaze do
Oct 13, 2020
Alumina ceramics is a kind of Al ₂ O ₃ as the main original bai, give priority to with corundum crystal phase of tao du porcelain material. Due to its zhi has high mechanical strength, high hardness, low high-frequency dielectric loss, high temperature insulation electrical DAO resistance, chemical corrosion resistance and good thermal conductivity and other advantages of excellent comprehensive technical performance.
Alumina is the world's second hardest substance after diamond.
1. Alumina powder is commonly used as a medium for chromatographic analysis.
2. In August 2004, scientists working at 3M developed a alloy made from aluminum and rare earth elements to make strengthened glass called Transparentalumina.
3. The main components of ruby and sapphire are alumina, which presents different colors due to other impurities. Ruby is red because it contains chromium oxide, and sapphire is blue because it contains iron oxide and titanium oxide.
4. The alumina content is the highest among the main components of alumina ores. In industry, ferric aluminium oxide is purified into alumina by Bayerprocess and then transformed into aluminium metal by Hall-Heroultprocess.
Alumina is the reason why the metal aluminum is not easy to be corroded in the air. The pure metal reacts easily with the oxygen in the air, producing a thin film of alumina covering the surface of the aluminium exposed to the air. This thin film of alumina prevents further oxidation of aluminium. The thickness and properties of this oxide film are enhanced by a process called anodic treatment (anodic preservative).

Based on the characteristics of alumina his role in ceramics is mainly: wear resistance, increase the strength, the formation of surface composite coating, this coating but the mechanical, physical and chemical properties of the matrix surface to improve, giving the matrix surface new mechanical, thermal, optical, electromagnetic and catalytic sensitive functions. To achieve the purpose of surface modification and functionalization of materials.
