Alumina Ceramic Rods and Ceramic Plunger Rods Product Introduction:
Zirconia Ceramic Rod Product Features:
1. Excellent Physical Properties: Mohs hardness up to 8.5-9.1, close to natural diamond, and more than 30% lighter than metal; fracture toughness reaches 8 MPa·m¹/²; bending strength exceeds 1200 MPa; melting point is 2700℃; can work stably for a long time at high temperatures of 1000℃.
Chemical stability is 10 times higher than stainless steel, resistant to strong acids and bases.
2. Production Process: Processed using isostatic pressing technology to form a uniform and dense ceramic layer; sintering temperature is 1400-1600℃, with two processes: conventional sintering and hot isostatic pressing; precision machining uses diamond grinding wheels + laser polishing, with a roundness error of ≤0.005mm.
Application Areas:
• Semiconductor wafer manufacturing (robotic arm drive shaft)
• New energy field (fuel cell membrane)
• Medical equipment (artificial joints, dental restorations)
• Mining machinery (wear-resistant lining)
Alumina Ceramic Plunger Rod Product Features
1. Core Advantages: Hardness ≥ 9 Mohs (close to diamond), wear resistance is 5-10 times that of metal; excellent corrosion resistance, mass loss <0.01% in 10% hydrochloric acid for 30 days; surface roughness Ra ≤ 0.008μm, friction coefficient as low as 0.02; wide operating temperature range (-273℃ to 1000℃).
2. Structural Design: Often uses a steel-ceramic composite structure, combining the strength of metal with the wear resistance of ceramic; segmented design reduces internal stress and improves temperature change resistance; special oil groove and cleaning sleeve design prevent impurity accumulation.
3. Specifications:
• Working Pressure: Up to 320MPa.
• Plunger Diameter: 2-40mm (customizable).
• Service Life: 3-5 times longer than metal plungers.
4. Application Fields:
• Medical equipment (hemodialysis machines, insulin pumps).
• Oil extraction (core components of oil pumps).
• Chemical production (high-pressure pumps, metering pumps).
• Airless spray equipment.
