Spherical alumina is a type of alumina powder obtained by ball milling, with a particle shape of spherical or nearly spherical. Spherical aluminum powder has characteristics such as high hardness, wear resistance, heat resistance, and corrosion resistance, and it has huge market demand and broad application prospects in fields such as precision grinding, thermally conductive materials, catalysis, etc.
The spherical alumina powder obtained by calcination using a high-temperature spray melting method has the characteristic of a high rate of spheroidization. Combined with the later stage graded washing and surface treatment process, the product performance is superior. Therefore, spherical aluminum oxide powder is widely used as a filling material for thermal interface materials. According to our research data, the market size of spherical alumina powder used in the field of thermal interface materials is expected to reach $83 million in 2023, with an estimated market share of 44.86%, making it the largest downstream application market for spherical alumina powder.
