Ceramic Bead

A low-cost, high-efficiency surface treatment abrasive produced by melting zircon in an electric furnace above 2000℃. Suitable for both dry and wet processes, and unlike glass or steel bead it delivers a uniform surface roughness.

Composition

ZrO₂ 68% / SiO₂ 32%

Density

3.60 g/cm³

Specific Gravity

2.3

Hardness

643 ~ 785 HV (58 ~ 63 HRC)

Features

  • High strength with excellent durability and heat resistance
  • Uniform surface treatment gives consistent roughness, unaffected by humidity
  • High density and strength deliver outstanding workability
  • Long service life makes it exceptionally economical

Applications

  • Manufacture of phosphors, battery electrode materials, pigments, paints, fine ceramic raw materials and abrasive powders
  • Grinding and dispersion of dielectric, piezoelectric and magnetic electronic component materials
  • Core material for the electrical, electronic, energy, bio, aerospace and catalyst industries
  • Glass bead replacement; barrel and milling applications
