Macor® components

Macor® is mainly used for its machinable properties. Because it is softer than advanced ceramics, Macor® permits to achieve complex geometries more rapidly with the same level of accuracy. In addition to be able to be ground like other ceramics, Macor® can be machined with carbide tools which make drilling and milling easier. Products Macor® is mainly used to manufacture the following products : tooling parts for production machinery insulators electrode carriers lens holders sensor carriers Materials Microcertec utilizes Macor® made by Corning. Macor® is a glass ceramic the chemical composition of which is mainly borosilicate to about 75 %, alumina and magnesia. Macor® has the following properties : machinable good electrical insulation good thermal insulation dimension stability to about 800°c vacuum compatible Download Precision machining of Macor (374.69 Ko)
