Description

Product Description

CERAMPRO alumina ceramic sintering plates are designed for stable part support during high-temperature firing and sintering processes. Made from 96%, 99%, 99.5%, or 99.8% Al₂O₃ ceramic materials, these plates are commonly used as setter plates, support plates, and furnace fixture plates. They help maintain part positioning, reduce surface contamination, and improve support stability during repeated thermal cycles in ceramic, powder metallurgy, battery material, and electronic ceramic production.

Material System

This product is mainly manufactured from high-purity alumina ceramic, with different material grades selected according to working temperature, load, plate size, flatness requirements, and contamination sensitivity.

96% alumina is suitable for general furnace support and ceramic firing applications where cost and performance need to be balanced.

99% alumina is recommended for higher-temperature use, better density, lower porosity, and improved dimensional stability.

99.5% and 99.8% alumina can be considered for applications requiring lower contamination risk, cleaner contact surfaces, and more stable performance under repeated firing conditions.

For special working conditions involving higher impact or localized wear, ZTA reinforcement can also be evaluated after reviewing the drawing and application environment.

As an experienced alumina ceramic manufacturer, CERAMPRO can recommend a suitable material grade based on your actual furnace conditions and product requirements.

Application Scenarios

Alumina ceramic sintering plates are mainly used in production processes where parts need to be supported, separated, or positioned during high-temperature treatment. Compared with ordinary metal support plates, alumina ceramic offers better high-temperature resistance, chemical stability, and lower contamination risk.

Typical applications include:

Ceramic part firing and sintering support

Powder metallurgy part support during heat treatment

Battery powder and functional material firing

Electronic ceramic component production

Laboratory furnace support plates

Industrial kiln furniture and setter plate systems

Precision part support during repeated sintering cycles

Custom furnace fixtures for small-batch or OEM production

Key Advantages

Better Stability During Firing

Alumina ceramic maintains good rigidity at high temperatures, helping reduce plate deformation and part movement during firing or sintering.

Lower Contamination Risk

The dense ceramic surface helps reduce material absorption and residue buildup, which is important when the plate is used in direct contact with powders, green bodies, or precision ceramic parts.

Good Resistance to Wear and Scratching

The hard alumina surface is suitable for repeated loading, unloading, and contact with abrasive ceramic or powder materials.

Flatness Control for Better Support

For applications where part position or surface contact is important, CERAMPRO can provide grinding and flatness control according to drawing requirements.

Suitable for Repeated Thermal Cycles

These plates are designed for repeated heating and cooling cycles in furnaces, helping improve long-term use stability.

Custom Structure Available

Holes, grooves, slots, chamfers, special shapes, and different thicknesses can be customized according to furnace layout and part placement requirements.
