Zirconia Alumina Compound Grinding Media

Zirconia Alumina Compound Grinding Media meaning Zirconia Toughened Alumina (ZTA) and Alumina Toughened Zirconia (ATZ),  are two types of ceramic grinding media that offer superior wear resistance and high-performance capabilities.

ZTA grinding media is made from a combination of alumina and zirconia. The addition of zirconia during the manufacturing process improves the toughness and strength of the material, making it highly wear-resistant and ideal for use in grinding applications that require high-performance materials.

On the other hand, ATZ grinding media is made from a combination of zirconia and alumina. The addition of alumina during the manufacturing process improves the strength and toughness of the material, making it highly wear-resistant and suitable for use in demanding grinding applications.

Both ZTA and ATZ grinding media are widely used in the production of electronic materials, advanced ceramics, and mining and mineral processing. They offer excellent performance in both wet and dry grinding processes and are available in a range of sizes and shapes to suit different applications.

Sanxin presents SXAZ/SXZA toughened grinding media are made from high-quality and ultra-fine yttria zirconium powder and alumina powder. They possess high wear resistance and strength due to the high toughness of zirconia. The qualities and properties of these grinding media meet the international advanced standards.

Feature

• Standard Size Range: ZTA is available in a standard size range spanning from 2.0 to 15 mm, providing versatility for various applications.

• Exceptional Wear Resistance: Through rigorous comparison wear rate tests, ZTA has proven to be 4 to 30 times more wear-resistant than various high-quality High Alumina (90-92% Al2O3) grinding media available in the global market.

• Density Parity: ZTA boasts a similar density to High Alumina media, making it an excellent substitute without compromising performance.

• Superior Performance-Price Ratio: ZTA offers a remarkable performance-price ratio, delivering superior functionality while effectively reducing costs for users.
