Acetal SD - static-dissipative
Acetal SD (aka POM SD, ESd Acetal) products are inherently dissipative and electrically stable unlike many other static"dissipative" plastic shapes. They do not rely on atmospheric phenomena to activate, nor are surface treatments used to achieve dissipation. Static electricity is dissipated through these products as readily as it is dissipated along the surface. All of these products dissipate 5 KV in less than 2 seconds per Mil-B-81705C. Acetal SD (ESd) is ideal for fixturing used in the manufacturing of hard disk drives or for handling in-process silicon wafers. POM SD - ESd Acetal is stocked at Professional Plastics locations in the USA, Singapore & Taiwan.

![Alumina 99.5% (Al2O3)]( "Alumina 99.5% (Al2O3)")
Alumina 99.5% (Al2O3)
Alumina 99.5% (Al2O3)
Alumina (Al2O3) is one of the most widely specified, general-purpose technical ceramics. All aluminas are very hard and wear resistant, with high compressive strength even against extreme temperatures and corrosive environments. Aluminas are also excellent electrical insulators and are gas tight.
Alumina is produced by firing a tightly packed powder form of Al2O3 which includes some binder material. Commercially available grades range from 90% up to 99.95% with the higher purity generating somewhat higher hardness. It is possible to machine alumina using diamond grinding techniques. Polishing is also possible, with the degree attainable affected by alumina grain size and production technique, whether pressed or extruded.
90%-97% - Best suited for metalizing (metal deposition which allows brazing) because of large grain structure.
98%-99.95% - Common range for isostatically pressed grades, with extruded shapes also available at low cost.
As-fired tolerances are generally only possible within a few percent of dimension. Extremely tight tolerances are attainable, but only by precision machining the fired part using diamond grinding techniques. This adds considerable cost, but tolerances to millionths of an inch are possible, and are often cost effective due to the extraordinary stability and durability of the finished piece.

![Beryllium Copper Alloy 25]( "Beryllium Copper Alloy 25")
Beryllium Copper Alloy 25
Beryllium Copper 25 is a Copper base alloy with the capability of being strengthened by
precipitation heat treatment. The alloy furnishes the best combination of electrical
conductivity, corrosion resistance and mechanical strength necessary for numerous
electronic and electro-mechanical devices.
Beryllium Copper 25 alloy is quite satisfactory for fabrication with good formability and joining
characteristics. Forming is readily accomplished from the annealed temper. Severe
bending will be less successful from hard or heat treated tempers and requires large fold
radius ratios.
Beryllium Copper 25 is able to be soldered, brazed, and welded by most standard
techniques. The brazing temperature must be kept under 1450° F and cycle time
minimized to avoid loss of heat treated strength. Heat treating should be performed
subsequent to welding to obtain uniform high strength. The alloy is not susceptible to an
increase in magnetic attraction from plastic deformation during service such as occurs
with the ferromagnetic stainless steels.
