White fused alumina is a form of aluminium oxide that is exceptionally pure and may be utilised with both stainless steel and aluminium. White fused alumina is made by fusing high purity calcined alumina in electric arc furnaces (WFA).
White Fused Aluminum Oxide is a high-purity fused aluminium oxide. Because it contains fewer contaminants than brown or pink combined aluminium oxide, it is white. The friability of brown fused aluminium oxide is higher than that of white fused aluminium oxide.
Aluminum oxide is a high-strength, wear-resistant material that can endure intense chemical attacks (acid and alkali) at high temps. On the Mohs scale, it has a toughness of 9.Because of its high refractoriness, outstanding electrical insulating characteristics, dielectric capabilities, and high melting point, White Fused Aluminum Oxide is a popular material for a range of applications.
Combining different highly pure calcined alumina in electric arc furnaces produces White Fused Alumina (WFA). WFA is a hard, friable raw material with high purity, chemical stability, a high melting point, and a large crystal size. It's suited for high-purity, chemical-stability, or refractoriness refractory applications.

Between 2021 and 2026, the global White Fused Alumina market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 2.2 percent, from 447.8 million USD in 2020 to 522.4 million USD by the end of 2026.
Alumina is used in abrasives, ceramics, refractories, metallurgy, and other applications. Ceramics is predicted to grow at the fastest rate during the forecast period. Alumina that has been calcined is used to make complicated ceramics.
Calcined alumina is preferred as a substrate for ceramics manufacturing because of its ease of mixing with other formulations, strong electrical conductivity, capacity to alter particle size and distribution, low dielectric constant, high mechanical strength, and great corrosion resistance. To work with alumina components, a variety of physical and chemical techniques can be applied.
The types of alumina determine the market categories for fused, reactive, calcined, tabular, and metallurgical alumina.
The most popular type of alumina on the market in 2018 was metallurgical alumina. Increased demand for aluminium from a range of end-use industries, including packaging, construction, transportation, and consumer durables, was cited as the reason. Furthermore, in the following years, improvements in global macroeconomic growth rates, as well as favourable development estimates for these industries, are likely to boost aluminium demand.
