Zirconia Ceramic Rods

Yttria Stabilized Zirconia Ceramics (YSZ)

Zirconia is stabilized in the cubic crystal structure to avoid cracking and mechanical weakening during heating and cooling. In addition to their refractoriness, they offer low thermal conductivity and are electrical conductors above 800 ℃. They also possess the unique ability to allow oxygen ions to move freely through the crystal structure above 600 ℃.

Added yttria gives zirconia more strength and lowers the chances of cracking from impact compared to standard zirconia, alumina, and silicon nitride ceramics. If cracks do occur, they will not spread, extending the life and reliability of this material.

Zirconia ceramic rods, bars, and plungers are made of zirconium oxide (ZrO2), these rods and bars, made of zirconia ceramics, are used in the shaft, plunger, sealing structure, automobile industry, oil drilling, insulation parts and other applications.
