Industrial-Grade Yttria-Stabilized Zirconia (YSZ) Ceramic Cylinders | Precision ZrO₂ Wear Components Manufacturer

Product Features and Brief Description
Product Category: Technical Ceramic Cylindrical Components
Material Grade: 3Y-TZP High-Purity Yttria-Stabilized Zirconia
Manufacturing Process: Cold Isostatic Pressing (CIP) + High-Temperature Sintering + Precision Centerless Grinding
Quality System: ISO 9001:2015 Certified, FDA 21 CFR Compliant Materials Available


Engineered to solve the pain points of metal components' corrosion susceptibility and plastic parts' poor wear resistance, our zirconia ceramic cylinders deliver fracture toughness of 10 MPa·m½, Vickers hardness of 1250HV, and surface finish up to Ra 0.02μm. These components maintain zero-dimensional creep across a wide temperature range from -50°C to 500°C, enabling OEM equipment manufacturers to significantly extend equipment maintenance cycles and optimize Total Cost of Ownership (TCO).

Industry Applications & Technical Solutions

1. Fluid Handling & Chemical Processing Equipment

Application Scenarios: Metering pump plungers, corrosion-resistant valve stems, seal face bushings
Technical Value: Achieves zero corrosion in strong acid media; extends seal face service life from 3 months (traditional materials) to 18 months; meets FDA validation requirements for pharmaceutical companies, preventing metal ion contamination of API raw materials and ensuring cGMP compliance.

2. High-Speed Precision Machine Tools

Application Scenarios: Spindle locating sleeves, linear guide bushings, fixture locating pins
Technical Value: Maintains ±0.5μm repeatability at 20,000 RPM; supports dry running operation, eliminating lubricant procurement and waste disposal costs; aligns with environmentally-friendly manufacturing requirements.

3. Thermal Processing Industrial Furnaces

Application Scenarios: Vacuum furnace support posts, heat treatment tooling fixtures, brazing locating blocks
Technical Value: Zero thermal deformation at 500°C; increases tooling lifespan from 6 months (metal) to 3 years; low thermal conductivity reduces heating cycle time by 30%, cutting industrial furnace energy costs.

4. Analytical Instruments & Testing Equipment

Application Scenarios: Mass spectrometer insulator columns, chromatography plungers, autosampler positioning rods
Technical Value: Non-magnetic interference ensures electron optics detection accuracy; chemical inertness is compatible with all mobile phases; extends instrument maintenance intervals, reducing MRO procurement frequency.

5. Medical Device Manufacturing

Application Scenarios: Surgical instrument handle cores, dental handpiece internal shafts, implantable device housings
Technical Value: ISO 10993 biocompatibility certified; withstands 1,000+ autoclave cycles; material radiopacity enables intraoperative X-ray positioning, enhancing surgical safety.
