Aluminum nitride ceramic rods (AlN) are high-performance structural components designed for applications requiring superior thermal conductivity, excellent electrical insulation, and exceptional mechanical durability. Manufactured using precision sintering and machining techniques, these ceramic rods provide outstanding thermal stability, low thermal expansion, and strong resistance to oxidation and wear. They are widely used in semiconductor processing, aerospace engineering, high-frequency electronic devices, power electronics, and advanced industrial applications where reliable thermal management is crucial.
Product Overview
Aluminum Nitride Ceramic Rod (AlN) is a ceramic material characterized by high hardness, wear resistance, excellent thermal conductivity, and outstanding high-temperature performance. With the characteristics of a covalent compound, its smooth surface is white or light gray, and it is non-toxic. AlN ceramic rods are widely used in high-temperature, high-pressure environments and applications requiring superior heat conduction. Thanks to their excellent mechanical properties and chemical stability, they find broad application in industries such as electronics, metallurgy, chemicals, and energy.
