High Quality Alumina Tray Customized for Sintering and Heat Treatment Applications

Customized Alumina Ceramic Tray Applications

• MIM / Powder Metallurgy Sintering

  ✅ Key Advantages

  1. Loader efficiency: V-groove / pocketed customized alumina tray increases part density per layer without contact scuffing.
  2. Thermal stability: maintains geometry through debinding and sintering cycles up to ~1700 °C.
  3. Clean surface chemistry: minimizes reactions vs. metallic fixtures.

  ✅ Problem Solved

  During MIM scale-up, a tray redesign (V-grooves + lapped surface) cut contact marks and raised per-run loading by ~12% while holding dimensional targets; alumina’s inert surface reduced post-sinter finishing steps, improving first-pass yield.

• Battery Cathode Calcination / Coating

  ✅ Key Advantages

  1. Low contamination support for NMC/LFP processing where trace impurities matter.
  2. Temperature margin in air atmospheres with stable trays.
  3. Configurable slots to enhance gas exchange around powder liners.

  ✅ Problem Solved

  During cathode pilot trials, switching to high-purity customized alumina trays reduced contamination risk and stabilized thermal exposure, cutting re-runs and aligning with alumina’s inertness under oxidizing conditions.

• Laboratory Muffle Furnace / QA

  ✅ Key Advantages

  1. Repeatable flat support for ashing/annealing with easy sample placement.
  2. Broad chemical compatibility during process deviations. Lakeside Pottery
  3. Fast changeover via modular tray sizes.

  ✅ Problem Solved

  Labs running mixed materials improved turnaround by adopting two customized alumina tray sizes matching their furnace shelf spacing, reducing reposition errors and improving uniformity over existing ad-hoc dishes.

Alumina Tray Usage Instructions

• Before first use

  Always pre-dry customized alumina trays after unpacking to avoid thermal shock from absorbed moisture. A typical practice is heating for 4–6 hours at around 90–100 °C, with longer times for thicker sections.

• Operation

  Place trays on a stable support surface inside the furnace, keeping safe clearance from heating elements. Avoid uneven loading, sharp temperature changes, or sudden transfers between hot and cold zones to minimize warpage and cracking.

• Maintenance

  Clean tray surfaces regularly to remove sintering residues or powder build-up. Rotate or flip trays after several cycles to equalize stress distribution. Only use release agents or separating powders when specifically required for your process.

• Storage

  Store alumina trays in a dry, cushioned environment. Always use spacers or protective pads between stacked trays to prevent chipping or edge wear. Keep them away from corrosive chemicals or humid conditions.

• Handling precautions

  Avoid dropping or knocking trays against hard surfaces, as edges can be fragile. When moving hot trays, use appropriate refractory tongs or insulated supports.

• Common misuses & fixes

  1. Over-tight stacking → use ceramic spacers or pillars to maintain airflow.
  2. Direct flame or gas impingement → reposition away from burners or apply shielding.
  3. Un-dried trays put directly into hot furnace → always pre-dry to prevent spalling.
  4. Use of incompatible separating powders → confirm with process data to avoid contamination or sticking.

Alumina Tray FAQ

1. Q: Are the trays resistant to acidic or alkaline materials?
   A: Yes. Alumina resists most acids and bases except hydrofluoric acid and concentrated strong alkalis.
2. Q: Can you manufacture trays based on our furnace slots and drawings?
   A: Yes, we accept custom shapes, dimensions, and reference markings based on furnace loading specifications.
3. Q: Do the trays deform after multiple heat cycles?
   A: Our trays are tested for ≥50 standard sintering cycles with no visible warpage when operated within the rated temperature and load.
4. Q: How long is the customized alumina tray production lead time?
   A: Standard trays: 3–5 days dispatch. Custom trays: 2–6weeks, depending on complexity.
5. Q: Do you supply high quality alumina trays for industry?
   A: Yes.ADCERAX supplies high quality alumina ceramic tray for industrial sintering, heat treatment, and material processing. We support both standard models and customized alumina tray designs, and also handle wholesale orders to ensure stable supply for large-scale production.
6. Q: What is the alumina ceramic tray price?
   A: The alumina ceramic tray price depends on several key factors, including tray size, wall thickness, purity grade (such as 96% or 99.7% Al₂O₃), and whether special machining like lapping, grooves, or slots is required. Order quantity also plays a role—small test batches are priced per piece, while wholesale purchases benefit from lower unit costs.
7. Q: Can I purchase alumina trays directly from the manufacturer?
   A: Yes, ADCERAX is a China-based manufacturer and supplier of alumina trays, offering both standard sizes and drawing-based customization. Buying directly from ADCERAX helps ensure product traceability and will get a fair price to control costs.
