Milling media from zirconia ceramics

  • 1. Central Glass and Ceramic Research Institute, Calcutta (India)

Description

Zirconia ceramics has found applications in various important fields. Oxygen sensors, heating elements, solid electrolytes, cutting tools, high temperature insulation, metal casting dies and nozzles are some of the areas of applications. Milling of zirconia compositions should preferably be done with ZrO2 milling media. Moreover, higher density of ZrO2 (5.5-5.7 gm/cc.) compared to alumina (3.4-3.7 gm/cc) results in faster grinding by zirconia balls. Wear of the grinding jar is also less compared to alumina balls. In the present work grinding balls have been prepared from zirconia, Y2O3, CaO-TiO2 stabilizing agents. (author). 6 refs., 2 figs., 1 tab
