Superior Thermal Stability

Zirconia Alumina demonstrates remarkable refractoriness, withstanding temperatures up to 1750C, and maintains its dimensional stability even under rigorous thermal conditions. This makes it exceptionally suitable for refractory linings, high-temperature casting, and environments where constant thermal exposure is a concern. Its low thermal expansion coefficient helps prevent cracking and distortion, ensuring structural integrity throughout repeated heating and cooling cycles.

Outstanding Abrasive Performance

With a Mohs hardness of 9 and high mechanical strength, Zirconia Alumina delivers consistent abrasive actionmaking it indispensable in grinding, sandblasting, and the manufacture of coated and bonded abrasives. These grains possess moderate friability, allowing for controlled breakdown and renewal of cutting edges during use, which enhances longevity and utility in abrasive tools and cut-off wheels.

Corrosion and Chemical Resistance

This material is highly resistant to both alkalis and acids, which equips it for use in corrosive environments encountered in industrial and process applications. The synthetic composition, combined with a purity exceeding 99%, ensures long-lasting service life and minimal deterioration in chemically aggressive settings, reducing maintenance requirements and maximizing operational efficiency.

FAQs of Zirconia Alumina:

Q: How is Zirconia Alumina typically used in industrial applications?

A: Zirconia Alumina is widely used for abrasive purposes such as grinding, sandblasting, and in the production of cut-off wheels, coated, and bonded abrasive tools. Its high refractoriness and corrosion resistance also make it a preferred choice for refractory casting and components exposed to extreme heat and aggressive chemicals.

Q: What benefits does Zirconia Alumina offer compared to conventional abrasives?

A: Compared to traditional abrasives, Zirconia Alumina provides higher mechanical strength, a superior cutting action due to its Mohs hardness of 9, and excellent thermal and chemical stability. This results in longer-lasting abrasive tools, better surface finishes, and reduced downtime for maintenance and replacements.

Q: Where can Zirconia Alumina be sourced and in what forms is it available?

A: Zirconia Alumina is supplied by exporters, importers, and suppliers in India and internationally. It is available as grains, grits, powders, or granules, and is typically packaged in bags, drums, or bulk shipments to suit various industrial requirements.

Q: What precautions should be taken during the storage of Zirconia Alumina?

A: Zirconia Alumina should be stored in a dry environment to preserve its indefinite shelf life and to prevent moisture-induced agglomeration or degradation. Proper packaging, such as sealed bags or drums, helps maintain its quality and usability over extended periods.

Q: How does the moderate friability of Zirconia Alumina influence its performance in abrasive tools?

A: The moderate friability of Zirconia Alumina allows controlled self-sharpening of abrasive particles. As the grains fracture under stress, new sharp edges are exposed, ensuring continuous abrasiveness and effective cutting action throughout the tools use.

Q: What distinguishes Zirconia Aluminas chemical and physical properties for refractory applications?

A: Its combination of high alumina and zirconia content, excellent dimensional stability, low porosity, and negligible water absorption makes Zirconia Alumina a standout material for refractory uses, offering reliable performance at sustained high temperatures and in chemically harsh settings.
