CONSTANT VACUUM APPLICATIONS
Spacers, headers and windows for microwave tube devices and as sample holders in field ion microscopes.

AEROSPACE INDUSTRY
Over 200 MACOR\^® MGC parts can be found on America's reusable Space Shuttle Orbiter. Retaining rings of MACOR\^® MGC are used at all hinge points, windows and doors.

NUCLEAR RELATED EXPERIMENTS
Since MACOR\^® MGC is not dimensionally affected by irradiation, small cubes of the material are machined to a tolerance of one micron and are used as a reference piece to measure dimensional change in other materials.

WELDING NOZZLES
Welding equipment manufacturers are using MACOR\^® MGC as a nozzle on the tips of oxyacetylene torches. The material's non-wetting characteristic means molten particles won't adhere to and decrease the effectiveness of the nozzle.

FIXTURES
MACOR\^® MGC is used as an electrode support and burner block in several industrial high heat, electrical cutting operations due to its low thermal conductivity and excellent electrical properties.

MEDICAL EQUIPMENT
Producers of medical components are intrigued by MACOR\^® MGC's inertness, precise machinability and dimensional stability.

THE POINT IS THIS:
When you need the performance of a technical ceramic ­ (high use temperature, electrical resistivity, zero porosity) ­ ad your application demands the ready fabrication of a complicated shape ­ (quickly, precisely, privately), look at MACOR\^® MGC is used as an electrode support and burner block in several industrial high heat, electrical cutting operations due to its low thermal conductivity and excellent electrical properties.
