Design Features
Alumina ceramic hollow tubes, also known as insulating precision ceramic bushings or ceramic tube sleeves, are a high-performance industrial ceramic
material with a variety of remarkable physical and chemical properties. These ceramic tubes are compact in design and primarily used in smaller structures and applications; they are not suitable for environments with large ceramic tubes.
High-purity alumina material
The main material used in its manufacture is 96% high-purity alumina, ensuring excellent mechanical properties and wear resistance.
Zero water absorption and air permeability
The alumina ceramic hollow tube has 0% water absorption and zero air permeability, meaning it performs excellently in humid or airtight environments.
Excellent electrical insulation
It has a very high breakdown strength (12 KV/mm), making it ideal for use as a sheath for electrical insulation.
High temperature resistance
It can withstand temperatures up to 1600℃, making it suitable for high-temperature environments.
Good mechanical strength and toughness
It has a bending strength of up to 300 MPa and a compressive strength of up to 2000 MPa, while possessing moderate fracture toughness (3.5 MPa·m1/2).
Thermal stability and thermal shock resistance
It has a low coefficient of thermal expansion (6.5-7.5 x 10-6/℃) and high thermal conductivity (25 W/(m·K)), and can withstand thermal shock up to 200℃.
