Machining and Production Costs Reduced with MACOR® Machinable Glass Ceramic

Feb 17 2012

MACOR® machinable glass ceramic from Goodfellow offers researchers, product designers and machinists cost-saving advantages over working with traditional ceramic materials. First, MACOR® is machinable with ordinary metalworking tools rather than expensive diamond grinding equipment. Second, machined components do not require post-firing after machining is completed, entirely eliminating a production process and reducing the time between design and realisation.

The high-precision and complex shapes achieved with MACOR® possess exceptional characteristics:
• Maximum use temperature of 1000ºC
• Strong and rigid
• Radiation resistant
• Low thermal conductivity
• Can be highly polished

Because of these outstanding properties, MACOR® is used in a wide range of applications:
• Electronics/semiconductor industry – precision coil formers
• Laser industry – spacers, reflectors and cavities
• High vacuum industry – thermal breaks, coil supports and vacuum feedthroughs
• Aerospace/space industry – Retaining rings, supports and components
• Nuclear industry – fixtures and reference blocks in power generation

MACOR® machinable glass ceramic is available from Goodfellow as rods, bars, sheets and finished components
