Machinable Ceramic Sheet MAC2-020202 by Corning 1/8″ Thick 2″ x 2″

Description

Product Overview

The MAC2-020202 Machinable Ceramic Sheet is engineered by Corning to meet the demanding standards of modern industrial manufacturing. Constructed from high‑purity ceramic material, this sheet exhibits zero porosity, eliminating outgassing concerns and ensuring a stable, inert surface for critical applications. Its dimensions—1/8″ thickness and a 2″ × 2″ footprint—provide a compact yet robust platform for a variety of machining tasks. The sheet is supplied with a tight thickness tolerance of +.015″/-.000″ and length/width saw cuts on the plus side, guaranteeing consistency across batches. Weighing just 1.12 ounces, it is lightweight enough for easy handling while maintaining the structural integrity required for high‑stress environments.

Usage

Designed for precision machining, this ceramic sheet excels in applications such as aerospace component prototyping, medical device tooling, semiconductor manufacturing, and high‑temperature furnace inserts. Its machinable nature allows for drilling, milling, and grinding with standard CNC equipment without the need for specialized tooling. The zero‑porosity characteristic makes it suitable for vacuum environments and cleanroom settings where contamination control is paramount. Engineers and technicians can rely on the sheet’s dimensional stability for repeatable production runs, reducing waste and improving overall efficiency.

FAQ

What machining tools can be used with this ceramic sheet?

The sheet can be processed with standard CNC mills, drills, and grinders. Carbide or diamond‑coated tools are recommended to achieve the best surface finish and extend tool life.

Is any post‑firing required after machining?

No post‑firing is necessary. The sheet is supplied in its final, fully sintered state, ready for immediate use in your application.

Can the sheet be used in high‑temperature environments?

Yes, the ceramic material retains its mechanical properties at elevated temperatures, making it suitable for furnace inserts and thermal shielding applications.

What is the recommended storage condition?

Store the sheets in a dry, temperature‑controlled environment to maintain dimensional stability and prevent moisture absorption.

How does the zero‑porosity benefit my process?

Zero porosity prevents fluid absorption and outgassing, which is critical for processes that require a stable, inert surface, such as semiconductor fabrication or vacuum testing.
