---|---|---|---|---|
Insulation Type | ARi Symbol | Maximum Operating Temp (°C) | Approximate Melting Temp (°C) | Comments |
Magnesia (MgO) | N | 1700 | 2800 | Very hydroscopic. Used mostly in compacted sheaths. |
Alumina Oxide (Al²O³) | A | 1550 | 2040 | Excellent with Platinum alloys. |
Hafnium Oxide (HfO²) | H | 2200 | 2790 | Comparable to Beryllium Oxide and safe to handle. |
Beryllium Oxide (BeO)*** | B | 2200 | 2650 | Excellent High Temperature thermal conductivity and resistivity. |
***Beryllium is considered a toxic material and can cause health problems if particles are inhaled.
