G-10

G-10 Machining

G-10 is a high-performance composite material that is indespensable in various industires due to its exceptional properties. Below you'll find just a few common characteristics of G-10, its applications in various industries, and why it's often preffered over other insulating materials.

For starters, G-10 is a high-pressure lamiante composed of woven glass fabric which is impregnated with an epoxy resin. This combination results in a material with remarkable mechanical, electrical, and thermal properties.

Key Characteristics of G-10

  1. Mechanical Strength: G-10 boasts high tensile and flexural strength, making it suitable for load-bearing applications.
  2. Electrical Insulation: With excellent dielectric properties, G-10 is an ideal electrical insulator.
  3. Moisture Resistance: G-10 also has low water absorption, maintaining its properties in humid environments.
  4. Dimensional Stability: It's extremely resistant to creep and maintains its shape under various conditions.
  5. Chemical Resistance: G-10 resists many chemicals, particulary in moist and humid conditions.
  6. Temperature Performance: It can operate in a wide temperature range, from -200°C to 140°C.

G-10's unique combination of mechanical strength, electrical insulation, and chemical resistance makes it a versatile material for OEMs. While it may be more expensive than some alternative materials, its superior performance often justifies the cost in demanding applications. As Engineers continue to seek high-performance materials that can handle demanding environments, G-10 will remain a go-to material for years to come.
