Application Benefits

Excellent thermal conductivityAX05 allows the dissipation of localized hot spots, prolonging the life of components in the most severe areas
Outstanding thermal shock resistanceThe combination of thermal conductivity and low thermal expansion provides long life service where severe thermal cycling is common
High purityThe highest purity when needed, AX05 grade contains no binders.  Binders soften at higher temperatures, shortening the life of many components in severe thermal environments
Chemically inertAX05 has excellent resistance to most corrosive agents.  Further, metals will not wet or adhere to it, permitting easy cleaning of deposited metals
Easily machinedComplex parts can be machined to exacting specifications in virtually any shape
