Zirconia Ceramic Screws
Zirconia ceramic screws are high-performance fasteners made from zirconium dioxide (ZrO₂), offering superior mechanical properties and exceptional resistance to harsh environments. These screws are ideal for applications requiring electrical insulation, chemical inertness, and thermal stability.
**Key Features:**
- **High Strength & Durability** – Excellent mechanical properties with high fracture toughness compared to other ceramics.
- **Corrosion Resistance** – Immune to rust, acids, and alkalis, making them suitable for aggressive chemical environments.
- **Electrical Insulation** – Non-conductive, ideal for electronic and high-voltage applications.
- **Thermal Stability** – Withstands extreme temperatures (up to 1000°C) without deformation or loss of performance.
- **Wear Resistance** – Harder than steel, ensuring long service life with minimal wear.
- **Non-Magnetic & Non-Sparking** – Safe for use in MRI machines, explosive environments, and sensitive electronic equipment.
- **Semiconductor & Electronics** – Used in wafer processing, vacuum chambers, and sensitive electronic assemblies.
- **Medical Devices** – Biocompatible and sterilizable, suitable for surgical instruments and implants.
- **Chemical Processing** – Resistant to corrosive media, ideal for pumps, valves, and reactors.
- **Aerospace & Defense** – Lightweight and high-strength, used in extreme temperature and high-stress conditions.
- **Food & Pharmaceutical** – Non-reactive and easy to clean, ensuring hygiene in processing equipment.
- Avoid excessive torque to prevent cracking due to ceramic brittleness.
- Use compatible washers or inserts to distribute load evenly.
- Recommended for static applications rather than dynamic, high-impact environments.
