Machinable glass ceramic (MGC) is a type of advanced technical ceramic material that combines the properties of glass and ceramics. It is a versatile and high-performance material that is used in a wide range of applications, including aerospace, electronics, medical devices, and industrial manufacturing.
MGC is unique because it is a glass-ceramic composite material that can be machined using conventional machining techniques, such as drilling, milling, and turning. This makes it an ideal material for applications that require complex shapes and geometries. MGC is also known for its excellent mechanical, thermal, and electrical properties.
One of the key advantages of MGC is its high strength and hardness. It has a Vickers hardness of up to 800 HV, which is comparable to some metals. This makes it an ideal material for applications that require high wear resistance and durability.
MGC also has excellent thermal stability and can withstand temperatures up to 1000°C. This makes it an ideal material for high-temperature applications, such as furnace components and heat exchangers.
In addition, MGC has excellent electrical insulation properties, making it an ideal material for electronic and electrical applications. It has a dielectric strength of up to 30 kV/mm, which makes it suitable for high-voltage applications.
Overall, Machinable glass ceramic is a versatile and high-performance material that offers a unique combination of properties. Its ability to be machined using conventional techniques makes it an ideal material for complex applications. Its excellent mechanical, thermal, and electrical properties make it suitable for a wide range of applications in various industries.
