마코르 가공 가능 유리 세라믹이란 무엇인가
Macor is a unique machinable glass ceramic known for its excellent “machinable like metal, insulating like ceramic” properties.
The essence of Macor: it is not plastic, nor is it ordinary ceramic
Macor is a Belarusian mica microcrystalline glass invented by Corning Incorporated in the United States. From the perspective of materials science, it is a glass ceramic made through a precisely controlled crystallization process. The interior of Macor is uniformly distributed with fluorite mica crystals, and these interlaced crystal structures are the root of all of Macor’s outstanding performance.
Simply put, Macor perfectly combines the physical properties of high-performance ceramics with the processability of engineering plastics, but it is easier to process and has superior performance compared to the former.
Core Advantage: Why is Macor unique?
Macor’s competitiveness is reflected in its unparalleled comprehensive performance:
- 뛰어난 가공성: This is its most prominent feature. Without the need for post sintering treatment, standard carbon steel or hard alloy tools can be used for precision machining such as turning, milling, drilling, and tapping, with tolerances up to ± 0.01mm. This greatly shortens the manufacturing cycle of prototypes and complex parts.
- 뛰어난 단열 성능: It has extremely high body resistivity and breakdown voltage, and can work stably in high temperature and high voltage environments, making it an ideal insulation material.
- 뛰어난 열 안정성: The working temperature range is wide (-200 ℃ to+800 ℃), the thermal expansion coefficient is similar to that of metals, and it can be sealed tightly with various metals without releasing gas or oil at high temperatures.
- 높은 기계적 강도와 경도: Compared to most engineering plastics, Macor has higher hardness, wear resistance, and compressive strength.
- Vacuum tightness and absence of precipitates: It does not contain high molecular weight polymers and will not release gas in ultra-high vacuum environments, making it an ideal choice for the semiconductor and aerospace industries.
- 화학적 불활성이 우수합니다: able to resist corrosion from most chemicals.
What key issues are being addressed? Application scenarios of Macor
The emergence of Macor has solved the material selection dilemma in many industries, especially in complex structural components that require high precision, high insulation, and high temperature resistance.
Question 1: How to achieve a balance between insulation and precision complex structures?
애플리케이션:
Semiconductor manufacturing: used for wafer carrier rings, insulators, vacuum suction cups, and plasma etching equipment components. They require precise dimensions, high purity, and stability under plasma bombardment.
High voltage equipment: insulation shell of high-voltage vacuum circuit breaker, insulation components of particle accelerator.
Question 2: How to achieve reliable sealing between metal and insulator in high temperature environment?
애플리케이션:
Aerospace and Defense: Metal ceramic packaging, sensor bases, and observation window frames for missile guidance systems. Its thermal expansion coefficient matches that of sealing metals such as Kovar alloy.
Scientific instruments: laser housing, X-ray tube components, high-temperature observation window.
Question 3: How to quickly manufacture small batches and high-precision non-metallic prototype parts?
애플리케이션:
R&D and prototyping: In the early stages of equipment development, Macor can quickly process insulation brackets, bearing seats, insulation boards, etc. for testing without the need for mold making, with low cost and short cycle time.
고객 실제 사례 (익명)
Case 1: A Large Particle Collider Project
Challenge: We need a precision insulation positioning component for ultra-high vacuum environments, which must achieve reliable sealing with metal electrodes and withstand strong radiation and thermal cycling.
Solution: We use Macor material to manufacture insulation components with complex inner cavities and mounting holes through precision machining, and successfully complete brazing and sealing with metal electrodes. This component fully meets the customer’s stringent requirements for dimensional stability, vacuum tightness, and long-term reliability.
Case 2: A certain industrial laser equipment manufacturer
Challenge: The reflector bracket of its new high-power laser requires an insulating material that does not deform, does not precipitate pollutants, and is easy to adjust at high temperatures. The original engineering plastics experienced creep and aging during long-term use.
Solution: We have customized and processed a Macor reflector bracket for it. Its excellent thermal stability ensures the long-term stability of the optical path, and its precipitation free characteristics protect the laser cavity lens. Customers can also use ordinary tools to fine tune and drill holes in the later stage, greatly facilitating assembly and debugging.
Macor can process glass ceramics with its unique performance combination, continuously providing key solutions for high-end manufacturing, scientific research, and electronics industries.
