Aluminum Nitride Crucible Description

Aluminum Nitride (AlN) exhibits high temperature resistance, corrosion resistance, and excellent thermal conductivity, making it a preferred crucible material in various industries. Aluminum Nitride Crucible can work under 800℃ in air, 1700℃ in vacuum, and 2100℃ in an inert atmosphere. We can offer both bulk molding and custom single-piece options to meet diverse industrial and research requirements, with flexible and rapid customization of product size and scale.

Aluminum Nitride Crucible Advantages

  • High thermal conductivity (170-230 W/mK), up to 9.5 times that of alumina.
  • A thermal expansion coefficient similar to that of silicon (Si).
  • Superior electrical insulation and lower dielectric constant.
  • Higher mechanical strength (450 MPa).
  • Excellent resistance to molten metal corrosion.
  • High purity and non-toxic.

Aluminum Nitride Crucible Applications

Aluminum Nitride Ceramic Machining

Ceramic Machining HM

Aluminum Nitride (AlN) ceramic machining is a precise process used to fabricate high-performance components from aluminum nitride materials. Machining aluminum nitride ceramics requires specialized equipment and techniques to handle their brittleness and hardness. Proper tooling and controlled environments are essential to avoid material damage and achieve the desired surface finish and dimensional accuracy. The common machining methods are as follows:

  • Diamond Cutting: Diamond tools are used to achieve fine precision and smooth surface finishes, ideal for complex shapes.
  • Laser Cutting: A non-contact method used for intricate shapes, with high precision and minimal thermal impact.
  • Precision Grinding: Utilized to achieve fine tolerances and surface finishes. Requires special care to prevent cracking or chipping due to the ceramic’s brittleness.
  • Wire EDM (Electrical Discharge Machining): A method often used for intricate cutting, especially for thin and complex geometries.

Aluminum Nitride Ceramic Packaging

Aluminum Nitride Ceramic products are typically packaged in vacuum-sealed bags to prevent moisture or contamination and wrapped with foam to cushion vibrations and impacts during transport, ensuring the quality of products in their original condition.
