Product Details
Zirconia ceramic balls are advanced precision components made from high-purity zirconium oxide (ZrO₂). Known for their exceptional mechanical strength and superior wear resistance, they outperform traditional steel balls in both performance and durability. Zirconia ceramics combine high hardness, corrosion resistance, and fracture toughness, effectively overcoming the brittleness that is typical of other ceramic materials. Because of their metallic-like mechanical strength, they are often referred to as “ceramic steel.”
Material Advantages
- High Strength & Toughness: Exceptional resistance to impact and fracture compared with other ceramics.
- Wear & Corrosion Resistance: Suitable for long-term use in harsh chemical or mechanical environments.

Frequently Asked Questions
Zirconium oxide (chemical formula: ZrO₂) is an inorganic compound composed of zirconium and oxygen elements. It is the most stable oxide form of zirconium in the Earth’s crust. It is one of the most abundant metal oxides in Earth’s crust and is also an important raw material for high-performance ceramics, refractory materials, and functional materials in modern industry. Pure crystalline zirconium oxide rarely exists alone in nature. It is usually distributed in the form of secondary minerals within minerals such as zirconite (ZrSiO₄), and can be obtained with high purity through chemical purification or high-temperature treatment of zirconite.
The core characteristics of zirconia ceramics can be summarized as: extremely high strength and toughness (bending strength 900-1200 MPa, fracture toughness 5-10 MPa·m¹/², excellent impact resistance), durability in harsh environments (melting point 2715℃, resistant to high temperatures, resistant to strong acids/corrosion/maintenance), excellent biocompatibility (foundation for medical implant safety) , aesthetic performance similar to natural teeth (adjustable light transmission), and through doping, functional expansions such as piezoelectric/ion conduction are achieved, making it an ideal material for cross-domain high-end applications.
