White fused alumina micro powder is produced by melting and cooling high-quality alumina powder in an electric arc furnace at temperatures above 2000°C to form white fused alumina blocks. These blocks are then processed using crushing, magnetic separation, pickling, washing, and drying techniques. The final product mainly consists of α-Al2O3 crystals and maintains a low sodium oxide content, as low as 0.1% or lower, resulting in excellent insulation capabilities. The low sodium content increases the product’s melting point, particle density, bulk density, flexural strength, compressive strength, true density, and hardness. This product features a dense crystal structure, high density, good transparency, and excellent insulating properties.
