  Products we can make: insulating sheets, terminal barriers, mounting plates, spacers, sensor supports, and flat components for electrical assemblies.
  Problems we help address: polymer insulation aging, inconsistent insulation gaps, insufficient heat resistance, surface wear, and dimensional instability during assembly or operation.
  Ground or polished surfaces, controlled flatness, holes, slots, chamfers, and custom profiles can be reviewed according to the component function.

• Automation Fixtures and Wear Components

  Products we can make: fixture plates, wear liners, guide plates, locator plates, support pads, and positioning spacers for automated equipment.
  Problems we help address: repeated contact wear, groove formation, dimensional drift, corrosion, electrical isolation requirements, and frequent replacement of metal or polymer components.
  ADCERAX can review the material grade, thickness, edge condition, mounting features, and surface finish needed for the equipment.

• Furnace, Laboratory and Heat-Treatment Parts

  Products we can make: setter plates, sample carriers, furnace support plates, insulating plates, separators, and flat high-temperature fixtures.
  Problems we help address: deformation of metal carriers, sample contamination, unstable positioning, insufficient electrical insulation, and reduced dimensional stability during repeated heating.
  The alumina grade and part design are reviewed according to operating temperature, load, atmosphere, thermal cycling, and cleanliness requirements.

• Ground and Polished Alumina Components

  Products we can make: ground sheets, single-side polished plates, double-side polished plates, bonding supports, inspection surfaces, and precision flat ceramic components.
  Problems we help address: uneven mounting surfaces, inconsistent bonding interfaces, excessive thickness variation, poor component alignment, and surface conditions unsuitable for the next assembly process.

Alumina Sheet Usage Instructions

• Use

  1. Check requirements: Confirm the grade, dimensions, tolerance, flatness, and finish against the drawing and application.
  2. Prepare mating surfaces: Clean and deburr adjoining parts to avoid point loads and direct edge contact.
  3. Confirm bonding compatibility: Validate the adhesive, surface preparation, and curing process with the complete assembly.
  4. Control fastening: Distribute the clamping load evenly and avoid excessive force on unsupported areas or edges.
  5. Manage temperature changes: Define heating and cooling conditions according to the grade, thickness, geometry, load, and atmosphere.

• Storage

  1. Flat positioning: Store sheets on clean, cushioned trays or racks.
  2. Separation: Use soft, non-abrasive interleaves to protect surfaces and edges.
  3. Environment: Keep the parts dry, clean, and protected from dust or contamination.
  4. Labelling: Retain the grade, thickness, and batch information for identification and repeat orders.

• Cleaning

  1. Routine cleaning: Use a compatible, non-abrasive cleaning method and dry the parts thoroughly.
  2. Residue removal: Use a process-approved cleaner and avoid damaging ground or polished surfaces.
  3. Avoid contamination: Do not use steel tools, contaminating abrasives, or unapproved aggressive chemicals.
  4. Final preparation: Confirm the cleaning and drying process against subsequent bonding or metallization requirements.

• Common Misuse & Fix

  1. Over-tightening clamps → Use controlled fastening and distribute the load evenly.
  2. Edge impacts → Use cushioned carriers and avoid direct metal-to-ceramic contact.
  3. Incompatible bonding preparation → Confirm the surface condition and adhesive process before assembly.
  4. Improper stacking → Do not place heavy loads on thin, ground, or polished sheets.
  5. Rapid temperature change → Apply a heating and cooling cycle suitable for the part design and working conditions.

Alumina Ceramic Sheet FAQ

1. Q: What grades of alumina sheet do you supply?
   A: Common engineering grades include  96%, 99%, 99.5% and 99.7%  alumina; selection balances dielectric properties, hardness, and machining of edges.
2. Q: What is the price of alumina sheet?
   A: The price of an alumina sheet depends on thickness, dimensions, purity grade, and surface finish. Thin sheets such as 0.5 mm or below require precision machining and special packaging, which may increase the cost. At ADCERAX, we provide clear quotations based on drawings or size requirements, with options for both small trial batches and bulk orders.
3. Q: Can I buy a thin alumina sheet like 0.05 mm?
   A: Yes, alumina sheets as thin as 0.05 mm can be supplied, but availability depends on the required size, flatness, and edge condition. Ultra-thin sheets require special handling and protective packaging to avoid chipping or warping during transport. For precise applications, it is recommended to provide drawings with thickness tolerance and surface finish requirements so the correct production route can be confirmed.
4. Q: How to cut alumina sheet?
   A: Alumina sheets cannot be cut with standard tools because of their hardness and brittleness. The recommended methods are diamond wheel grinding, CNC machining with coolant, or laser cutting for thin sheets. Each method must control feed rate and cooling to prevent edge chipping. For tight-tolerance parts, it is best to supply drawings so cutting and finishing can be done during production rather than post-processing.
5. Q: Can I request polished alumina ceramic sheets?
   A: Single-side or double-side polishing is available; specify Ra or mirror finish if bonding or metallization is planned.
6. Q: Can you provide an alumina ceramic data sheet?
   A: Yes, a full alumina ceramic data sheet can be provided with each batch. It typically includes chemical composition, density, hardness, dielectric strength, maximum service temperature, and thermal expansion coefficient.
7. Q: Can I source alumina sheet directly from a manufacturer in China?
   A: Yes. ADCERAX is a China-based manufacturer and supplier of alumina sheets, offering both standard sizes and custom options based on drawings. By working directly with our factory, buyers gain access to competitive pricing, flexible small-batch orders, and stable supply to support long-term industrial projects.
8. Q: What is the difference between alumina sheet, alumina plate and alumina substrate?
   A: 1. Alumina sheets are thin industrial flats (roughly 0.05-10 mm) cut and machined to drawing for insulation, wear and fixture duties — this page.
   2. Alumina plates usually mean thicker structural or lining boards.
   3. Alumina substrates mean electronics-grade polished or metallized flats (DBC/DPC routes).
   If your need is a thick lining board or an electronics substrate, we will route your inquiry to the matching product line at review.
9. Q: What is the difference between silica sheet and alumina sheet?
   A: Silica sheets are more economical and excel in thermal shock resistance, suitable for general insulation at lower temperatures. Alumina sheets deliver superior hardness, dielectric properties, and high-temperature stability, making them the preferred choice for industrial insulation, wear liners, and lab applications where performance and reliability are critical.
