Heads, Spacer cores, Swageable Cores, Swageable Insulators
Intro:
Extra Porous MgO cores
This composition is under trials as a potential solution looking for a problem. It is our standard MgO body additional macroscopic pores to augment the natural 30% of microporosity. Trials so far have produced about 10-15% additional pores.
The objective is to produce a ceramic that will deform plastically and maintain physical integrity without crumbling and disintegration. It is not ever likely to replace lava as and end seal in a cartridge heater design, but may facilitate other terminations.
USES:
1) terminal ceramics in cartridge type heaters
2) possible exploitation of porosity for filtration and media applications.
