YSZ ZrO2 Zirconia Ceramic Extrusion Dies

Zirconium Oxide (Zirconia) is the toughest ceramic commercially available. We actually have a hammer made out of this ceramic. This high-strength material exhibits excellent wear and corrosion properties. The material can also be HIP'd for added strength and edge retention. Zirconia exhibits a very low coefficient of friction and is available in MgO or Yttria stabilized grades. 

Common applications include:

      - Ceramic razor blades

      - Catalyst Extrusion Dies

      - Sucker Rod Balls and Seats

      - Wear Bushings

      - Valve Trim

      - Orifice plates

      - Guide Rollers and sleeves in metal

      - Computer drive components
