What is Tabular Alumina
Tabular Alumina is produced by sintering ball-formed calcined alumina at a temperature just under the 2040°C fusion point of aluminum oxide. This recrystallizes the normally flat crystals into hexagonal, elongated tablet-shaped crystals up to 400 microns in size. It is possible to convert nearly 100% of the crystals and achieve extremely high chemical purity while maintaining the same hardness and density. It provides high-temperature resistance, thermal and chemical stability, abrasion resistance, high mechanical strength, and excellent shock resistance.
