Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

QWhat is the composition of Yttria Stabilized Zirconia (YSZ) beads?
Yttria Stabilized Zirconia beads are composed of 94.5% ZrO₂ and 5.25% Y₂O₃ by weight. This composition provides exceptional hardness, high density (≥6.02 g/cm³), and superior wear resistance compared to other grinding media.
QWhat industries are Zirconia Ceramic Beads suitable for?
Zirconia Ceramic Beads are widely used across numerous industries including paints & coatings, inks, battery materials, minerals & mining, agrochemicals, pharmaceuticals & food, electronic materials, structural ceramics, metallurgy, cosmetics, textiles, and printing & dyeing.
QWhat size range is available for Zirconia Ceramic Beads?
Zirconia Ceramic Beads are available in a wide range of sizes from Φ0.1 mm up to Φ55 mm, covering applications from ultra-fine nano-grinding to large-scale milling processes. Custom sizes can also be discussed based on specific requirements.
QWhy choose Zirconia Beads over other grinding media such as glass or alumina beads?
Zirconia beads offer significantly lower wear rates, higher grinding efficiency, and longer service life compared to glass or alumina beads. Their extreme hardness (>8.5 GPa HV) and high fracture toughness (9 MPam¹⁻²) minimize contamination of processed materials and reduce overall production costs.
QAre Zirconia Ceramic Beads suitable for pharmaceutical and food applications?
Yes. Due to their extremely low wear rate and high purity, Zirconia Ceramic Beads are ideal for pharmaceutical ingredient grinding and food product homogenization where contamination must be minimized and high purity standards are required.
QWhat is the crushing load and grain size of these Zirconia Beads?
The crushing load is ≥20 KN (for Φ2mm beads), demonstrating excellent mechanical strength. The grain size is ≤0.5 µm, which contributes to their smooth surface, high density, and outstanding grinding performance in both wet and dry milling applications.
