Uses of Alumina Tubes
A common use for an alumina tube is in industrial applications where high temperature resistance is required. Its durability has made it a popular component for many industries such as the manufacture of furnaces, heat exchangers, laser tubes, and corona treater tubing.
In more traditional industries, alumina tubes are commonly used within industrial ovens and furnaces. They are used as:
• Insulators for electrical connections.
• Heat-resistant supports and sample holders.
• Injector tubes and gas nozzles.
• Covers and sheaths designed to protect delicate sensors.
In more cutting-edge industries, alumina tubes are widely used as components in hi-tech process equipment. Applications include:
● Parts for CVD, ion implants, photolithography, and semiconductor systems.
● A high voltage insulator in plasma cleaning systems for aluminum rolling and coating mills.
● Components for use in the chemical industry because of their high chemical/corrosion resistance.
