Zirconia Toughened Alumina Material Grades

CeramAlloy ZTA is a high performance ceramic composite and a unique ceramic material by way of exhibiting a combination of high hardness, strength, wear and corrosion resistance resulting from its Alumina content, while still maintaining reasonably high fracture toughness resulting from its Zirconia content.

Applications:
  • High pressure equipment – ball valve balls and seats
  • Rollers and guides for metal forming
  • Thread and wire guides
  • Deep well down-hole valves and seats
  • Shaft bearings/bushings

Ultra Hard is a high performance ceramic composite and a unique ceramic material by way of exhibiting a combination of high hardness, strength, wear and corrosion resistance resulting from its Alumina content, while still maintaining reasonably high fracture toughness resulting from its Zirconia content.

Applications:
  • High pressure equipment – ball valve balls and seats – particularly suitable for high flow/abrasive fluids
  • Focusing nozzles for abrasive media
  • Ultra high pressure pumping elements
  • Deep well down-hole valves and seats
  • Rollers and guides for metal forming
  • Thread and wire guides
  • Metal extrusion dies

Zirconia Toughened Alumina Ceramic Machining

Zirconia Toughened Alumina Ceramic Machining

Zirconia Toughened Alumina (ZTA) is a high-performance composite material that enhances toughness and strength by incorporating zirconia (ZrO₂) into alumina (Al₂O₃). Machining this material requires addressing its high hardness and brittleness. Key machining aspects include:

  • Cutting: Utilizes diamond tools or laser cutting for precision and edge integrity.
  • Grinding: Employs precision grinding to control surface roughness and dimensional tolerances.
  • Drilling: Uses ultrasonic or diamond drills for micro-holes, ideal for electronic applications.
  • Surface Finishing: Polishing or coating improves wear resistance and aesthetics.

Zirconia Toughened Alumina Crucible Ceramic Packaging

Zirconia Toughened Alumina Ceramic products are typically packaged in vacuum-sealed bags to prevent moisture or contamination and wrapped with foam to cushion vibrations and impacts during transport, ensuring the quality of products in their original condition.

We carry a wide variety of zirconia toughened alumina (ZTA) products in stock, and for these, there is generally no minimum order requirement. However, for custom orders, we typically set a minimum order value of $200. The lead time for stock items is usually 1-2 weeks, while custom orders usually take 3-4 weeks, depending on the specifics of the order.

The zirconia toughened alumina crucible has higher fracture toughness and mechanical strength. Zirconia particles help prevent crack growth, making the crucible more durable under thermal cycling and mechanical impact.

It can typically withstand temperatures up to around 1650–1700°C in air. The exact limit depends on the zirconia content and specific manufacturing process.

Advanced Ceramic Hub, established in 2016 in Colorado, USA, is a specialized supplier and manufacturer of zirconia toughened alumina (ZTA) products.
