Zirconia Toughened Alumina Rod/Bar Description
Zirconia toughened alumina rod/bar is made from a composite ceramic that combines the hardness and thermal stability of alumina with the added fracture toughness of zirconia. This combination significantly improves resistance to cracking and wear, making it suitable for demanding applications such as precision shafts, insulating rods, support pins, and structural bars exposed to high temperatures or corrosive environments. The fine microstructure ensures reliable long-term performance under both mechanical load and thermal cycling.

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.
ZTA machining is widely applied in precision component manufacturing, such as electronic substrates and medical implants.
Zirconia Toughened Alumina 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.
