Macor
Macor is a machinable glass ceramic. With Macor, fabrication is fast, because it can be machined into complicated
shapes and precision parts with ordinary metal working tools,
quickly and inexpensively, and it requires no post firing after
machining. That means no frustrating delays, no expensive hardware,
no post fabrication shrinkage, and no costly diamond tools to
meet specifications.
Macor machinable glass ceramic is a white, odorless, porcelain-like
(in appearance) material composed of approximately 55% fluorophlogopite
mica and 45% borosilicate glass. It has no known toxic effects,
however, the dust created in machining can be an irritant.
