Forsterite

Forsterite is a polycrystalline material. Its high phase fraction means that forsterite has a great diversity of beneficial product features. However since the phase fraction is basically similar to that of Steatite C 221, Sembach does not often use forsterite.

 

Its prime material properties:

 

  • high mechanical load capacity
  • high thermal expansion coefficient
  • effective thermal insulator
  • extremely good electrical insulation property

 

No products made from forsterite are currently being produced.
