While ALON has comparable mechanical (hardness and strength) and dielectric properties to alumina, its transparency and superior chemical resistance makes it a preferred, and ‘See Through’ alternative for many applications. Current applications of ALON such as transparent armor, sensor and reconnaissance windows and domes exploit its unique combination of optical (UV to MWIR transparency), mechanical (high hardness, strength and durability) properties.

This new bonding technology, will extend the application of ALON to new applications, including Oil and Gas drilling where ceramic and metal components must be joined.
