ZrO2 Zirconia Ceramic Guide Wheel Description
Zirconia ceramics is a new type of high-tech ceramics. Among all engineering ceramics, zirconia ceramics have the highest strength and toughness at room temperature. The thermal conductivity of zirconia is the lowest among common ceramic materials, and the coefficient of thermal expansion is close to that of metals. Therefore, zirconia ceramics are suitable as structural ceramic materials. We use our Zirconia Ceramic materials to make high-performance ZrO2 Zirconia Ceramic Guide Wheel for corrosive and abrasive fluid flows in demanding processing environment.
