Applications

It is widely used for nuclear, microwave high vacuum insulation, high precision magnetism-free skeleton for aeronautic and astronautic electrical devices, ultra-high voltage insulation for electric motors and structural parts at strong erosion environments. In terms of machinability, it can take place of aluminum oxide and boron nitride ceramics that are difficult to machine.
