Al2TiO5 vs MnZn Ferrite
Ceramic · grade comparison
Al2TiO5 and MnZn Ferrite are both ceramic grades. MnZn Ferrite is the stronger of the two: tensile strength 30 MPa (4.35 ksi) against 15 MPa (2.18 ksi) for Al2TiO5, about 100% more. MnZn Ferrite is harder — 600 HV against 450 HV for Al2TiO5 — which matters for wear surfaces and threads. Al2TiO5 is lighter (3.2 g/cm³ vs 4.85 g/cm³ for MnZn Ferrite) and MnZn Ferrite is stiffer (150 GPa vs 15 GPa). On the shop floor, Al2TiO5 machines more easily (25 vs 15 out of 100) and MnZn Ferrite sits in a lower cost tier (premium, $$$) than Al2TiO5 (high, $$$$).
Al2TiO5Choose it when weight is the constraint, or when the part sees heat.
MnZn FerriteChoose it when strength drives the design, or when surface hardness matters.
Al2TiO5 vs MnZn Ferrite: propertiesHow to read these bars
- One bar per material. A full bar is the highest value among all ceramic grades in the FabDigit library; each bar is drawn as a share of that.
- The better value (by the usual engineering direction) is in bold. Rows with no direction — density, thermal conductivity — have no bold.
- Values are typical room-temperature figures for the condition named on each card.
- Confirm against the certified mill or resin datasheet before design release.

Al2TiO5 vs MnZn Ferrite — frequently asked
Is MnZn Ferrite stronger than Al2TiO5?
Yes. MnZn Ferrite has a typical tensile strength of 30 MPa (4.35 ksi) against 15 MPa (2.18 ksi) for Al2TiO5 — about 100% more.
Which is cheaper, Al2TiO5 or MnZn Ferrite?
MnZn Ferrite is the lower-cost material: it sits in the premium tier ($$$) while Al2TiO5 is high ($$$$). Part price depends far more on geometry, tolerance and quantity than on raw stock — upload a CAD file for a live quote.
Which is easier to machine, Al2TiO5 or MnZn Ferrite?
Al2TiO5, by a small margin. Both rate poor for machinability — 25/100 against 15/100 for MnZn Ferrite.
