Description
Activated Carbon / Carbon Powder
Activated Carbon / Carbon Powder

Activated carbon, also called activated charcoal, is highly porous, contributing to its very large surface area. Its surface is also very reactive. It is a very useful adsorbent used in many filter systems to purify, dechlorinate, deodorize, and decolorize both liquid and vapor applications. Activated carbon is usually derived from waste products such as coconut or wood, where bulk sources are converted into charcoal before being 'activated.' Activated carbon from coal is referred to as activated coal. Activated carbons are economical adsorbents for many industries and purposes. Different types of activated carbon are suited for various specialized applications, with grade and size-specific applications.

Almond Shell Powder and Granules
Almond Shell Powder and Granules
Almond Shell Powder and Granules are natural organic materials that are odorless. They qualify as organic, vegan, and halal and are fully biodegradable.
Alumina / Aluminum Oxide (Al₂O₃)
Alumina / Aluminum Oxide (Al₂O₃)

Aluminum Oxide (Al₂O₃), or alumina, is one of the most versatile refractory ceramic oxides that finds use in a wide range of applications. It is white, amorphous, and inert. It is the most common technical ceramic material used today. The versatility of alumina stems from its broadly impressive material properties, ease of manufacture, wide availability, and budget-friendly cost. It has high heat resistance, high thermal conductivity, high strength and hardness, high electrical insulation, high corrosion resistance and is biocompatible. Purities available range from 95% (industrial grade) to 99.999% (high purity grade) and the product is also available to MIL-A-22262B.

Aluminum (Al) Alloy Powders
Aluminum (Al) Alloy Powders
Commercially available P/M aluminum alloy powder compositions consist of pre-alloyed atomized aluminum powders, including various alloying elements such as zinc, copper, magnesium, manganese, titanium, and silicon. Typical aluminum alloys include AA 2000, 4000, 5000, 6000, 7000, and 8000 series high-purity aluminum (99.9%+). Aluminum Alloy Powder Size Range is 5-200 Microns. Additive Manufacturing aluminum alloy powders are available with a particle size distribution of -53/+15 microns. Additive Manufacturing aluminum alloy powder with a coarser grade is also available in a particle size range of -65/+20 microns.
Aluminum (Al) Chopped Wire
Aluminum (Al) Chopped Wire
Aluminum wire cut into pieces. Purities are available from as high of a typical purity of 99.99% down to low-purity recycled scrap aluminum alloys. EC Chops are available in a wide range of sizes.
Aluminum (Al) Metal
Aluminum (Al) Metal
Pure aluminum is a lightweight silvery-white metal. It is soft and malleable with a low density. It is non-toxic and with high tensile strength. It has high thermal conductivity and excellent corrosion resistance and can be easily cast, machined, and formed. It is non-magnetic and non-sparking. Weight for weight is twice as good as a conductor of electricity as copper. Purities are available from as high of a typical purity of 99.996% down for some granulations to low-purity recycled scrap aluminum alloys.
Aluminum-Beryllium (Al-Be) Alloy
Aluminum-Beryllium (Al-Be) Alloy
Al-Be combines the high modulus and low density of beryllium with the strength, ductility, and fabrication ability of aluminum. Al-Be alloys have physical and mechanical properties that exceed standard aluminum alloys. Its mechanical stability, dampening, thermal management, and reduced weight are all enhanced. The alloy has a high modulus-to-density ratio (3.8 times that of aluminum or steel), greatly reducing the chance of flexure and mechanical failure.
Aluminum Metal Foam
Aluminum Metal Foam
Aluminum metal foam is a fully customizable rigid, opened pore three-dimensional network of interconnected solid aluminum ligaments. The aluminum foam has a high strength-to-weight ratio, strong compression strength, and a high surface area per unit volume.
Aluminum Nitride (AlN)
Aluminum Nitride (AlN)
Aluminum Nitride (AlN) is a hard white crystalline solid with high thermal stability (Melting point of 2200ºC), high resistance, and low porosity. It is a ceramic with high–thermal conductivity and a low thermal expansion coefficient. It is used as an electronic substrate due to its high electrical resistance, low dielectric constant, and wide bandgap. Aluminum nitride component typical value = >96%
