Macor Machinable Glass Ceramic
Macor Machinable Glass Ceramic, it can be machined with conventional metalworking tools
Macor machinable glass ceramic has the versatility of a high performance polymer, the machinability of a metal, and the performance of an advanced technical ceramic. It is a hybrid glass-ceramic and offers a unique combination of properties from both families of materials. Macor is an excellent electrical and thermal insulator, and offers good performance in high temperature, vacuum, and corrosive environments.
One of the main advantages of Macor is that it can be machined with conventional metalworking tools. This allows for significantly faster turnarounds and substantially lower production costs when compared with other technical ceramics, making it an excellent material for both prototyping and medium-volume production runs.
Macor Properties
Mechanical Properties
Macor machinable glass ceramic is strong and rigid. Unlike high temperature plastics, Macor will not creep or deform. It has zero porosity and can be polished to a smoothness of 0.5µin.
Thermal Properties
Unlike high temperature plastics, Macor will not creep or deform. It has low thermal conductivity, which makes it useful as a high temperature insulator. Macor has excellent dimensional stability in a variety of environments (heat, radiation, etc.). It’s coefficient of thermal expansion readily matches most metals and sealing glasses.
* Coefficient of Thermal Expansion (CTE) describes how the size of an object changes with a change in temperature.
Electrical Properties
Macor machinable glass ceramic is a good electric insulator, especially at high temperatures. It works excellent with high voltages and a broad spectrum of frequencies. It is also radiation resistant.
Macor is one of the few ceramics that can be machined using regular metal working tools. While there is a learning curve to machining Macor, it is certainly achievable for someone with the correct skills and patience. The machining characteristics of Macor are very different from metals and plastics so we recommend you take some time to practice drilling, turning, and milling the Macor before you try to make your own component to understand how it behaves. Unlike plastics and metals, ceramics never plastically deform; this means that when machining Macor you must be very conscious of chipping.
