Zirconia Mortar and Pestle

The high density and wear resistance of zirconia making it an idea material for grinding equipment such as mortars and pestles. Compared with alumina and agate mortar set, the YSZ zirconia mortar and pestles are much more durable.

Product Details

Product Introduction:

Yttria stabilized zirconia (YSZ) is a sintered advanced ceramic material and it is the most common form of stabilized zirconia ceramic. Typical composition of Yttria Stabilized Zirconia is 94.8% ZrO₂ + 5.1% Y₂O₃ (weight percentage).

The high density and wear resistance of zirconia making it an idea material for grinding equipment such as mortars and pestles. Compared with alumina and agate mortar set, the YSZ zirconia mortar and pestles are much more durable. Mortar made by zirconia also has better corrosion resistance to keep low contamination for the material processed. One more important application is for HF. Zirconia 's inertness to HF and other acids make it superior to Agate and other Al₂O₃/SiO₂ based materials.

Applications of Yttria Stabilized Zirconia (YSZ) Parts:

• Used for grinding ceramics materials, magnetic materials and organic samples.

• Bearing and other wear resistance mechanical parts.

• Special pump parts.
