1 Introduction

Aluminum oxide (alumina) is one of the most widely


used engineering ceramics. It is a hard, wear resistant
material that is chemically inert and stable at high tem-
peratures. In addition, the high purity grades (i.e. white
alumina) exhibit excellent electrical insulation (dielectric
characteristics) and thermal conductivity. As a result of
these excellent properties and its low cost, alumina finds
its use in a number of engineering applications.

The material is available in powder form in a range of


size distributions and chemistries. Typically applied by
atmospheric plasma spray, this material has been used
in many applications requiring abrasive, sliding and ero-

sive wear resistance such as wear pads, seal rings, lin-
ers etc. High purity alumina is used for electrical, ther-
mal and biomedical applications such as high tension
and high temperature insulation, as a substrate for elec-
tronic components and for medical implants.
