Beda antara white corundum powder and alumina powder

White corundum powder and alumina powder have the same appearance and similar names. Many people want to clarify the difference between them. The following Qianjiaxin Refractories will distinguish it from its own composition.

1. White corundum powder

(1) Crystal form: trigonal crystal system;

(2) Density: 3.90 g/cm3;

(3) Hardness: Knoop hardness 2000-2200Kg/mm2, Mohs hardness 9.0;

(4) Melting point: 2250C;

(5) Maximum operating temperature: 1900C;

(6) Specific heat (Cal/g.C): 0.26 (20-90C);

(7) Thermal conductivity: 900C at room temperature (Cal/cm3.sec.C);

(8) Refractive index: e=1.760 w=1.768 (Na line);

(9) Coefficient of linear expansion: (7-9)*10^-6/K(0-1600C).

2. Alumina powder

(1) Appearance: white powder, crystalline phase γ phase;

(2) Average particle size (nm): 20±5;

(3) Content %: greater than 99.9%;

(4) Melting point: 2010℃-2050℃;
