---

Aluminum oxide ceramic discs, as a high-performance industrial ceramic component, play an irreplaceable role in fields such as electronics, power, machinery, chemical engineering, and healthcare due to their excellent mechanical strength, electrical insulation, high temperature resistance, and corrosion resistance.

Performance characteristics of alumina ceramic discs
Aluminum oxide ceramic discs are ceramic products made from high-purity aluminum oxide (Al ₂ O3) as the main raw material, through precision molding and high-temperature sintering. Its performance varies with different alumina contents (commonly 96%, 99%, etc.), and the higher the content, the better the performance is usually.
