1. Brief Introduction

Zirconium grinding media is made of good material and used advanced technology, which is suitable for any kinds of mills such as sand mill, attrition-mill, vibratory mill, ball mill and so on. It is used to grind and disperse the material of painting, dye, ink, titanium, electronic battery material, rare-earth material, nonmetal ore, calcium, pesticide, food stuff and medicine etc.. Because of its high density, toughness and hardness, zirconium grinding media’s efficiency is much better than traditional ones. The high wear-resistant zirconium grinding media can not only prevent materials from being contaminated, but also prevent chemical erosion that affects its working life.

2. Advantages of Zirconia Grinding Media

- Ultra low wear loss as a result of the transformation-toughening mechanism unique to the yttria stabilized zirconia (YSZ) material system.
- Higher grinding efficiency and reduced grinding time due to zirconia’s higher density (compared with alumina and glass).
- Most durable grinding material, reducing operational cost in the long run.  Wear rate substantially lower than Al2O3, CeO2-ZrO2, and MgO-ZrO2 grinding media.
- Suitable for high velocity operations and wet grinding operations.

3. Applications of Zirconia Grinding Media

- Iron- and chrome-based magnetic materials (for audio/video recording tapes) and other magnetic materials.
- Electronic-grade ceramics (ferroelectric, piezoelectric, dielectric, capacitors, sensors, etc.), advanced structural ceramics, and other ceramic ingredients.
- Nanostructured and superfine powders.
- Toner materials for photocopiers and laser printers.
- Inks, dyes, paint, and other pigments.
- Pharmaceutical, food, chemical, and textile applications.
- Lab milling operations demanding minimized contamination from milling media.
