Overview
The Zirconia Ball Mill Jar is a high-performance grinding container made from yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ), offering exceptional hardness, wear resistance, and chemical stability. Designed for laboratory and industrial ball milling applications, it ensures contamination-free grinding of powders, ceramics, pharmaceuticals, and advanced materials.
Key Features
✅ Ultra-High Wear Resistance – Zirconia (ZrO₂) is one of the hardest ceramic materials, significantly outperforming alumina and stainless steel in durability.
✅ Chemical Inertness – Resistant to acids, alkalis, and solvents, making it ideal for sensitive materials (e.g., battery materials, pharmaceuticals).
✅ Zero Contamination – Unlike metal jars, zirconia prevents iron or other impurities from mixing with samples.
✅ High Density & Impact Resistance – Withstands prolonged milling without cracking, even with high-speed planetary ball mills.
✅ Smooth Inner Surface – Ensures efficient grinding and minimal product adhesion.
✅ Temperature Stability – Can operate in high-temperature environments (up to 1,500°C in some cases).
✅ Long Service Life – Outlasts alumina and porcelain jars due to superior toughness.
Applications
✔ Nanopowder production (e.g., oxides, carbides)
✔ Pharmaceutical & cosmetic grinding
✔ Ceramic & glaze preparation
✔ Battery materials (Li-ion, cathode/anode powders)
✔ Metallurgy, minerals, and pigments
✔ Research labs & universities
