Alkaline Furnace Process
Bauxite is finely ground and mixed with alkali or alkaline earth carbonates and sintered to produce aluminate. By calcining ammonium alum at about 1200oC high purity alumina powder is prepared. While heating, the alum melts and forms a viscous liquid. On further heating water is expelled, ammonia and sulphur trioxide are removed […]

Alumina Powder- Al2o3
The important raw material for the production of Alumina Ceramics is the Aluminium Oxide Powder. The most stable Phase both as single crystal and poly crystalline sintered form is the Alpha Alumina also known as Corundum. The remarkable mechanical properties and the abrasiveness have been successfully exploited in the Advanced Ceramic Engineering materials.
The […]

Alumina based Ceramics is the most widely used Ceramic Material among the Advanced Ceramics Engineering Materials. The production technology of Alumina based materials is most matured and in terms of volume of production, this is the number one material in industrial applications due to its variety of uses. Approximately one billion metric tons of Alumina […]

As James K.Wessel quoted “Only 5% of designers are willing to try something new and 80% will follow if the 5% are successful. Be one of the 5%. This is applicable for all.
The use of Advanced Ceramic Materials can save money, reduce down time, reduce maintenance,
increase efficiency, increase operating temperature, lower […]

Advanced Ceramics is also known as Technical Ceramics, Engineering Ceramics, Fine Ceramics, Hi-Tech Ceramics. It includes a group of ceramic materials that has some specific characteristics.
These Ceramic Engineering materials have unique features of high hardness, physical stability, extreme resistance to heat, chemical inertness, bio compatibility, superior electrical properties, highly resistant to melting, bending, stretching, corrosion […]

It’s been a long time since I blogged here. If you are wondering where I have been and what I am up to lately, well I have left my job at Hindware and I am now working independently. This has given me the freedom to put to use my knowledge and skills in a variety […]
