Tabular Alumina ALFA TAB®06 for Investment Casting – High-purity tabular alumina for stable and precise investment casting.
ALFA TAB® 06 tabular alumina is a sintered, high-purity alumina ceramic characterized by exceptional density and mechanical strength. Produced without additives and sintered at very high temperatures, it ensures outstanding thermal shock resistance, chemical stability, and dimensional reliability even above 1,700 °C.
These unique properties make ALFA TAB® 06 the ideal component in shell and core formulations for investment casting applications.
Key advantages:
For the production of high-precision castings used in aerospace, automotive, and energy industries, the selection of the right refractory materials is essential.
ALFA TAB® 06 provides the required stability, purity, and consistency to formulate shell systems that deliver excellent surface finish, dimensional accuracy, and reduced defect rates — even under the most challenging process conditions.
