Alumina (Al2O3) is one of the most important oxide ceramic materials and characterized by high hardness, corrosion and temperature resistance. Components made of alumina are electrically insulating, puncture-proof and therefore suitable for a wide range of applications such as substrates in the electronics industry, thread guides in textile engineering, protection in thermal processes, etc. It can be used not only for industrial applications, but also in medical engineering for permanent implants or devices, due to its high biocompatibility.
With LithaLox HP 500, Lithoz provides a high-purity aluminum oxide (99.99 %) with outstanding material properties. It is characterized by a high density (99.4 % relative density), a high four-point bending strength (430 MPa) and a very smooth surface (Ra ≈ 0.4 μm).
LithaLox 350D can be used not only for industrial applications but also in medical engineering as permanent implants and surgery devices due to its high biocompatibility and bioinertness. With LithaLox 350D, Lithoz provides a high-purity aluminum oxide (99.8 %) with outstanding material properties. It is developed for the realization of highly complex components with small channels and holes.
