Macor Machinable Glass Ceramic in Lamp Reflectors

As a substrate and reflector in high-intensity lamps, macor Machinable glass-ceramic has enough strong thermal properties. Glass-ceramics are excellent elements in heat-resistant lamps and work great as reflectors in high-pressure explosion lamps. Laser decay glasses are available in both Macor MGC Machinable Glass Ceramic and Glazed ultra-white alumina. 

The use of the before-mentioned lamps is to project pictures using explosions of high-pressure electrical curves to create a light emission of extremely high intensity. This is utilised for digital data projection in every type of electronic equipment which can range from a hand-held sensor or a smart tool to a huge television screen. 

The essential requirement in such a set-up is the glasses continue steady at the extremely high temperatures required to create an illustration of high brightness and stable colour on a collecting screen. These reflectors and their substrates have to perform at temperatures regularly above 550 degrees Celsius. This is considerably above the melting temperature of borosilicate glass; the normal glass product used in electrical equipment screens. 

Besides, the reflector and its substrate must have a low thermal increase coefficient, since the process of turning a device on and off produces high thermal inclinations. In turn, these begin to deformation and ultimate rupture of a standard reflector and substrate because it extends and decreases in the produced heat. Also, the reflectors and substrates have to work as heat tubs. This signifies reflectors and substrates have to exchange the heat produced from the infra-red portion of the light spectrum apart from the light origin. 

Macor glass-ceramics have all the mentioned physical properties. Also, it is composed of a smooth covering that does not necessitate any polishing after crystallisation. The combination of macor is actually known as fluorphlogopite mica that is included in a pattern of borosilicate glass. It is extremely machinable and can be made of many complicated shapes and patterns. It can be manufactured with regular machines for the metalworking and does not need users to spend on costly diamond-tipped tools. 

Macor glass-ceramics is proficient in remaining constant continuously up to temperatures of 800 degrees Celsius, rising at the highest temperature of 1,000 degrees Celsius, if there is no pressure on it. Although it is chemically rebellious, particularly to powerful bases like alkaline soda. It's one weakness is that it is hit by halogens at high temperatures.
