Advanced Zirconia Ceramic Ball Mill Jar – Unmatched Strength & Toughness for Demanding Milling Applications

The Ultimate Milling Solution for High-Performance Laboratories

Our Advanced Zirconia (ZrO₂) Ceramic Ball Mill Jar represents the pinnacle of milling technology, engineered to deliver exceptional mechanical strength, fracture toughness, and wear resistance at room temperature. Crafted from high-performance yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ), this jar is specifically designed for high-energy planetary ball milling where standard alumina or stainless steel jars fail.

Unrivaled Material Properties

✅ Superior Mechanical Performance

• Vickers Hardness: ≥1300 HV (50% harder than alumina)

• Fracture Toughness: 8-10 MPa·m¹/² (3× tougher than alumina)

• Bending Strength: ≥1200 MPa (withstands extreme milling forces)

• Young's Modulus: 210 GPa (exceptional structural stability)

✅ Advanced Material Composition

• High-Purity 3Y-TZP (3mol% Y₂O₃ stabilized ZrO₂)

• 94-97% Theoretical Density (near-zero porosity)

• Nanoscale Grain Structure (0.2-0.5μm) for maximum durability

✅ Unmatched Wear Resistance

• Wear Rate: <0.001mm³/N·m (ASTM G99 tested)

• 10× Longer Lifespan than standard alumina jars

• Zero Metal Contamination (ICP-MS verified <1ppm leaching)

Precision Engineering Features

✔ Optimized Geometry – Computer-modeled curvature for perfect grinding media dynamics
✔ Ultra-Smooth Interior – 0.05μm Ra mirror polish minimizes sample adhesion
✔ Reinforced Thread Design – 500+ cycle opening/closing durability
✔ Thermal Shock Resistant – Stable from -196°C to 1200°C
✔ Hermetic Sealing – Dual O-ring system maintains vacuum/inert gas integrity
