MACHINABLE GLASS CERAMICS
Introductions
Is MACHINABLE with ordinary metal working tools;
Allows FAST TURNAROUND, no post firing require;
Holds TIGHT TOLERANCES, up to 0.012(0.0005”);
Withstands HIGH TEMPERATURE, up to 1000°C(no load);
Is CLEAN, no outgasing and zero porosity;
Machining
Machining tolerances are surprisingly tight, up to 0.012(0.0005”). it can be machined to a surface finish of
less than 0.5(20uin).-AA. Configurations are limited only by available equipment and the experience of the
machinist.
Sealing, Joining and Metalizing
Machinable Glass Ceramic(MGC) can also be joined or sealed – both to itself and to other material – in a
number of ways: metalized parts can be soldered together and brazing has proven an effective method of
joining the material to various metals; epoxy produces a strong joint, and sealing glass creates a vacuum tight
seal. Even a straight-forward mechanical joint is possible.
It can be thick film metalized using metal inks, or thin film metalized by sputtering.
