Tabular Alumina Balls
Tabular alumina balls are high-density, fully shrunk, coarse crystalline alpha aluminas that have been converted to the corundum form.
Tabular alumina is produced by sintering ball-formed calcined alumina at a temperature just under the 3704°F (2040°C) fusion point of aluminium oxide. These tabular alumina balls are then crushed, graded or screened, and ground to a wide range of granular or powdered particle size distributions. The typical chemical and physical properties which characterize tabular aluminas are presented in this product data.
