Rectangular Macor Sheets
Macor machinable glass ceramic is a unique high-performance material developed by Meetcera. It perfectly combines the easy machinability of glass with the excellent physical properties of advanced ceramics. With its distinctive white, porcelain-like appearance, Macor can be precisely machined into complex components using standard metalworking tools—no post-firing required. This significantly shortens production lead times.
Whether you need standard plates, rods, or fully custom high-temperature precision machined Macor ceramic parts, it is the preferred material in high-end industries such as semiconductors, aerospace, medical devices, and vacuum systems.
Core Advantages of Macor Machinable Glass Ceramic
- Exceptional Machinability: Can be easily turned, milled, drilled, tapped, and ground using ordinary carbide tools on conventional metalworking equipment. Achieves micron-level precision and is ideal for custom precision machined Macor ceramic components and intricate geometries.
- Outstanding High-Temperature Performance: Continuous use up to 800°C, with short-term peaks reaching 1000°C (unloaded). Maintains excellent dimensional stability at high temperatures without creep or deformation—perfect for high-temperature precision Macor ceramic parts.
- Superior Electrical Insulation: Extremely high dielectric strength and volume resistivity, even under high temperature and high vacuum conditions. The top choice for vacuum insulation Macor ceramic rods and electronic device supports.
- Zero Porosity & Ultra-Low Outgassing: Fully dense structure with excellent vacuum compatibility, widely used in high-vacuum feedthroughs and semiconductor process chambers.
- Low Thermal Conductivity & Excellent Thermal Matching: Thermal conductivity of approximately 1.46 W/m·K and a coefficient of thermal expansion that closely matches many metals and sealing glasses, making it easy to metallize or hermetically seal.
- Additional Benefits: Radiation resistant, non-magnetic, highly polishable, good thermal shock resistance, and strong chemical stability.
Typical Applications
- Semiconductor & Electronics: Vacuum chamber components, insulating supports, RF windows, and other semiconductor equipment Macor glass ceramic parts.
- Aerospace & Defense: High-temperature insulation components and sensor housings.
- Medical Devices: Precision non-magnetic parts and laser equipment supports requiring biocompatibility and tight tolerances.
- Vacuum & Laser Systems: Vacuum feedthroughs, mirror mounts, and windows—especially high-vacuum Macor ceramic rods and components.
- Nuclear & Others: Radiation-resistant structures and high-temperature furnace insulation parts.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What are the advantages of Macor machinable glass ceramic compared to traditional alumina ceramics?
A: The biggest advantage is machinability. Unlike conventional ceramics that require diamond tools and often post-firing, Macor can be machined like metal, making it perfect for small-batch, high-variety precision machined Macor ceramic parts.
Q: Is Macor suitable for vacuum applications?
A: Absolutely. Its zero-porosity and extremely low outgassing properties make it a classic choice for vacuum insulation Macor ceramic in high and ultra-high vacuum environments.
Q: What is the maximum operating temperature?
A: Continuous use up to 800°C and short-term peaks up to 1000°C—far exceeding most engineering plastics and many other ceramics.
Q: Do you support custom parts?
A: Yes. We offer full high-temperature precision machined Macor ceramic parts customization according to your drawings. Feel free to send your designs for a quote.
