Zirconia ceramic shaft / rod
Alias: Zirconia ceramic plunger
Description：
A shaft/rod made of zirconia (ZrO2) ceramic, also known as a zirconia ceramic plunger. It is mainly used in environments that require high wear and corrosion resistance, such as in chemical processing, precision machinery, electronic equipment and medical devices. These shaft rods can be used as an integral part of moving parts, such as in pumps, valves, or fluid control systems, and their smooth surface helps reduce friction and increase the efficiency and longevity of equipment.
Features:
Zirconia ceramic plungers take advantage of the excellent properties of zirconia (ZrO2) to provide a multifaceted solution for industrial applications:
— Excellent mechanical properties and abrasion resistance
With a Vickers hardness of 1175HV and an elastic modulus of 200GPa, zirconia provides extremely high breaking and abrasion resistance, making it suitable for use in environments subjected to heavy loads.
— Chemical stability
Zirconia's chemical inertness makes it excellent in chemical processing environments, resisting a wide range of corrosive chemicals.
— High fracture toughness
It has a fracture toughness of 9 MPa·m1/2, which makes the shaft / rod less prone to fracture when subjected to impact or high pressure.
— Smooth surface and precision manufacturing
The smooth surface of the shaft helps reduce friction and wear, increasing the efficiency and longevity of moving parts.
— Thermal stability
It has a thermal conductivity of 2.5 W/(m·K) and a high thermal shock stability (△T of 250°C), which is suitable for use in environments with large temperature changes.
Applications:
Zirconia ceramic shafts / rods are used in a wide range of demanding technical fields:
Chemical processing equipment
Used in pumps, valves, and other fluid control systems, its corrosion and abrasion resistance is especially important when dealing with aggressive chemicals.
Precision mechanical and electronic equipment
Used as a high-performance component, such as in high-end printing equipment and precision instruments, zirconia's wear resistance and stability ensure precise operation.
Medical devices
It is widely used in dental and orthopedic implants, and is suitable for making implants such as artificial joints due to its biocompatibility and abrasion resistance.
Automotive & Aviation
Used in high-performance engines and aerospace components, zirconia's high temperature resistance and mechanical stability provide additional security.
Zirconia ceramic shafts / rods are key components in several industries due to their superior mechanical strength, wear resistance, chemical stability, and thermal stability. Not only do they improve the operational efficiency and longevity of the equipment, but they also maintain excellent performance under high loads and extreme conditions.
