Alon Glass Sheet

Aluminum oxynitride has a cubic spinel crystal structure and is four times harder than silica glass and three times harder than steel.

Alon glass sheet. Alon marketed as the uncreatively named alon by its manufacturer surmet corporation is produced by sintering. Aluminum oxynitride is a transparent optical ceramic powder with typical grain size of 150 250 microns and surface areas from 0 9 7 5 m2 g range. Alon aka transparent aluminum is crystal clear and ultra hard advanced transparent ceramic material that is manufactured via powder processing.

Powdered ingredients are poured into a mold compacted under tremendous pressure. Researchers think the answer may be transparent aluminum armor a finely polished ceramic alloy that s both lighter and stronger than traditional bullet resistant glass. Alon or aluminum oxynitride is an amazing and unique transparent advanced ceramic that is polycrystalline made from powder with a cubic spinel crystal structure. It is four times harder than fused silica glass 85 as hard as sapphire and nearly 15 harder than magnesium aluminate spinel.

In the popular media and in the star trek community it is commonly referred to as transparent aluminum.
