    Alumina has good mechanical, thermal, and electrical properties that make it suitable for a variety of applications. The document lists typical properties of different grades of alumina, including density, compressive strength, thermal conductivity, coefficient of thermal expansion, and dielectric constants. It also compares the properties of zirconia toughened alumina, which has higher flexural strength and compressive strength but lower thermal conductivity and maximum use temperature than pure alumina grades. Common applications that benefit from alumina's properties include ballistic armor, electronic substrates, and components for lasers, high voltage insulation, and wear-resistant parts.
