Alumina Ball

Alumina Ball is made from high-purity aluminum oxide (Al2O3) with typical purities ranging from 90%-99.9%. It has been proven to have superior wear performance in corrosive environments and high-temperature conditions. It resists oxidation and is tolerant to high moisture environments, salt solutions, and many chemicals. These excellent properties make it widely applied in ball mills, chemical twoers, and high-temperature equipment. Advanced Ceramics Hub can supply customized solutions for diameter and surface finish to meet diverse industrial and research requirements.

Alumina Ball Advantages

  • Excellent electrical insulation properties
  • High hardness and mechanical strength
  • Wear and abrasion-resistant
  • High thermal conductivity and thermal shock resistance
  • Low density
  • Resistant to strong acid and alkali attack at high temperatures
  • Transparent to microwave radio frequencies
  • High compressive and dielectric strength
  • Very specific thermal conductive and thermal expansion rates

Alumina Ball Applications

  • Grinding Media: Used in ball mills to grind ceramic raw materials, ores, and pigments, leveraging their high hardness (Mohs 9) and wear resistance to minimize contamination and boost efficiency.
  • Catalyst Support: Serve as a support material for catalysts in chemical and petroleum refining processes, thanks to their high surface area, heat resistance (up to 1700°C), and chemical stability.
  • Packing Material: Employed as packing in chemical towers (e.g., distillation or absorption columns) to enhance mass transfer efficiency, owing to their corrosion resistance and thermal stability.
  • Wear-Resistant Linings: Applied as linings in pipelines, hoppers, or equipment to protect against abrasion, especially in mining and cement industries.
  • Valves and Seals: Used as ball valves or sealing components in pump systems, extending service life due to their high strength and corrosion resistance.
  • High-Temperature Insulation: Utilized in high-temperature furnaces or kilns as insulation or support materials, benefiting from low thermal conductivity and excellent thermal stability.

It is a regular purity grade Alumina (Aluminum Oxide) and it is one of the workhorses of the technical ceramics industry. It features a 96% purity Alumina base material providing a balanced “cost to quality” ratio. It is a hard-wearing technical ceramic offering an excellent combination of both mechanical and electrical properties and is ideally suited to a wide range of industrial applications where cost is of the essence, but the material still needs to perform adequately from a mechanical and electrical standpoint.
It can be machined in the “green state”- that is before sintering takes place, thus ensuring a large variety of shapes and sizes. It can also be diamond ground to tight tolerances in the fully sintered state using diamond grinding.
