Zirconia silicate beads are spherical balls made of zirconium dioxide and used in mill machines to grind and mill various elements. With high density and mechanical strength, Inovatec offers four varieties of these media for grinding and milling purposes.
Zirconia beads are composed of zirconia powder and can be used with all mill types, making Yttria stabilized zirconia beads particularly desirable due to their excellent physical characteristics.
High Strength
Zirconia silicate beads feature high strength, making them suitable for use in wheel blast systems and wet or dry air blasting processes. Their size also enables them to access hard-to-reach areas of parts for high-quality finishes.
Durability is another advantage of diamond grinding wheels; they don’t break easily and can be reused multiple times, saving both money and effort in the long run. Furthermore, as there are no pores on their surface to be contaminated by chemicals or solvents contaminating them while grinding materials, meaning more precision when grinding materials – essential to creating quality finishes.
This media is produced using high-grade Australian zircon sand through granulating shaping methods, then hardened through sintering. This process ensures they possess an ideal combination of density, hardness, and wear resistance making them suitable for milling or dispersing middle-hard particles in low to middle viscosity range slurries.
Once they are produced, zirconia alumina composite beads go through a rigorous selection process to eliminate any misshapen or defective ones before being hand sorted again to guarantee only high-grade media are produced – something essential if your grinding process needs to be as efficient and effective as possible.
Low Wear Rate
Zirconia silicate beads are tough and durable, helping extend milling/grinding media lifespan and minimize batch contamination. Their low wear rate compares favorably to other forms of grinding media like glass ceramic or lithium disilicate; additionally they can withstand high amounts of vibration without chipping fracture or abrasion and boast excellent temperature fluctuations tolerance and chemical inertness, making them the perfect solution for applications that demand precise grinds.
Attrition tests show YSZ to outperform standard glass beads by up to three times and four times respectively; its durability also makes it suitable for high pressure applications reducing breakage or abrasion risk.
YSZ is an inert, non-porous material with uniform particle size distribution that is suitable for dispersing various materials such as kaolin, talc, titanium dioxide and calcium carbonate paints, pharmaceuticals, foodstuffs and metallic minerals. Due to its superior wear resistance properties and hardness characteristics, YSZ’s high hardness and hard wear resistance makes it particularly suitable for milling high viscosity formulations like inks or lighter paint shades and coatings with greater viscosity formulations like inks or lighter paint shades or coatings.
Selecting the appropriate bead size for your application is key to its success, as choosing an improper size could cause equipment damage, reduce lifespan and create finished part defects. A particle size calculator such as the YSZ can assist with selecting an ideal bead size.
High Crushing Strength
Zirconia silica beads are among the best choices when it comes to wet processing equipment grinding materials for dispersion or polishing metal elements, since they offer greater resilience compared to other forms of grinding media and can withstand tough materials without shattering or becoming damaged – this makes them an excellent option for dispersing inks and paints, polishing metal elements, etc.
Zirconia silica beads also boast high crushing strengths, making them great media to grind materials without losing their shape and breaking down during the grinding process – saving both money and effort in the long run. Zirconia silica beads retain their performance even with long-term usage, saving you both money in the process.
Inovatec machinery offers an impressive selection of ceria stabilized zirconium media balls to meet all your processing equipment needs. Selecting the ideal media size can significantly improve processing equipment effectiveness; selecting incorrectly can cause irreparable harm and even compromise it completely.
Sintering process used to produce ceria-stabilized zirconium beads ensures dense packing of media that provides longer performance at lower cost than alternative grinding media options. Plus, replacement doesn’t occur as frequently.
Low Contamination
Zirconia silicate beads have been known to last three times longer than their regular counterparts, making them ideal for numerous applications. From dispersing paints and inks to milling CaCO3 and other metallic minerals efficiently, zirconia silicate beads offer substantial savings while streamlining processes more cost effectively.
zirconia’s dense particles offer lower wear-and-tear, thus lowering contamination levels, making it ideal for working with highly pure materials such as pharmaceuticals or electronic components. Plus, zirconia is chemically inert so makes an excellent choice when working with chemically reactive materials.
These beads boast low binding properties, making them the ideal solution for homogenizing mosquitoes or extracting proteins and nucleic acids from their eggs. Furthermore, their lightweight yet manageability makes them great for polishing metal surfaces or using with inks and contact lenses for easy handling.
Sintering beads creates a dense and hard non-porous media, eliminating issues of breakage or irregular shape irregularity that could otherwise compromise performance. Furthermore, their temperature resistance allows for longer column life when working with acidic samples – particularly helpful when handling acidic samples which might otherwise cause column degradation and decrease performance.
