Leveraging four key characteristics\u2014low thermal expansion, high damping, high rigidity, and zero internal stress\u2014it has become the preferred choice for equipment requiring nanometer\/micrometer-level precision. It is widely used in critical components such as beds, bases, guideways, crossbeams, and worktables, supporting ultra-precision turning, grinding, lapping, and the processing of semiconductor\/optical components.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I. Core Material Advantages (Compared to Cast Iron)<br>Extremely Low Thermal Expansion Coefficient: Approximately 0.6\u00d710\u207b\u2076\/\u2103, only 1\/20th of cast iron (11\u00d710\u207b\u2076\/\u2103). Deformation under temperature fluctuations is minimal, and annual precision variation can be controlled within 2\u03bcm, suitable for long-term stable operation in constant temperature workshops.<br>Ultra-High Damping Vibration Reduction: Damping coefficient is over 10 times that of cast iron, with high-frequency vibration attenuation reaching 95%. It effectively suppresses cutting\/grinding vibrations, eliminates workpiece chatter marks, improves surface finish by over 30%, and extends tool life by 37%.<br>High Rigidity and Stability: Naturally dense, free from casting defects and internal stress, it remains deformation-free during long-term use. With an elastic modulus of about 50GPa and high density (\u22483000kg\/m\u00b3), its structural stability far exceeds that of cast iron.<br>Insulation and Corrosion Resistance: Rust-proof, resistant to acids and alkalis, and non-magnetic. It reduces parasitic capacitance in EDM processes, making it suitable for high-precision mirror surface processing. Its good insulation makes it ideal for electronic\/semiconductor equipment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>II.
