Wear resistant Zirconia balls
Application
With the improvement of zirconia wear-resistant ceramic ball technology and the upgrading of products, it has been widely used in ceramics, cement, refractory and other industries. Therefore, not only will the demand for zirconia wear-resistant ceramic balls increase, but also the requirements for material properties will be further improved, such as its wear resistance.
In order to improve the wear resistance of zirconia wear-resistant ceramic ball, what factors are related to its wear resistance? The first reaction is raw materials. When the grain size is small, the wear mechanism is mainly plastic deformation and partial transgranular fracture, resulting in slight wear. However, when the grain is relatively coarse, grain boundary fracture will occur, resulting in severe wear.
Therefore, the smaller the grain size of zirconia wear-resistant ceramic ball, the better its wear resistance. In addition, compared with large particles, small particles have relatively large specific surface area or surface energy, so their sintering driving force is large, sintering temperature is low, and sintering density is high.
At the same time, if proper sintering aids are added to the raw materials in the process of ceramic processing, the sintering temperature can be reduced, so as to improve the microstructure of the ceramics, improve the mechanical properties, and thus improve the wear resistance of zirconia wear-resistant ceramic balls.
Of course, technology is certainly one of the main factors that affect the wear resistance of zirconia wear-resistant ceramic balls. It is suggested to use low temperature fast burning technology, which can not only achieve significant energy saving benefits, but also inhibit the growth of zirconia wear-resistant ceramic balls, which is conducive to improving the strength, toughness and wear resistance of products.
In addition, it is also important to improve the wear resistance of zirconia wear-resistant ceramic ball by using appropriate raw materials and scientific molding process to ensure that the green body has good sintering characteristics. In this process, the particle size, shape and additives of raw materials will affect the isostatic pressing, while the forming pressure and holding time will affect the green density, sintering shrinkage, sintering temperature, etc. The performance of the ceramic ball will be guaranteed and its wear resistance will also increase with the guarantee of raw materials and technology processing. High temperature resistance is a built-in feature of this high temperature resistant industrial ceramic, although raw materials and technology will also have a slight impact.
