[Useful Information] Alumina Alternative Composite Material SA701
To customers struggling with large alumina parts - that problem can be solved with ceramic composite materials.
With the expansion of the semiconductor manufacturing equipment market, procurement issues related to ceramics have arisen. In particular, large alumina components have limited suppliers, and extended lead times are impacting equipment development schedules. The ceramic-metal composite material SA701 has slightly lower Young's modulus and bending strength compared to alumina, but it has high fracture toughness and is less prone to cracking, making it easy to handle. Its density is about 3/4 that of alumina, and it can be machined for direct threading, eliminating the need for metal bushings and enabling weight reduction. We encourage you to consider the adoption of metal-ceramic composite materials, which excel in producing larger components compared to alumina. *For more details, please refer to the materials available for download via the PDF button.
