Zirconia Ceramic Rod

Zirconia ceramic rods are precision-engineered from stabilized zirconia (ZrO₂) materials, typically yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) with yttria content ranging from 3mol% to 8mol%, ensuring optimal mechanical and thermal performance. This advanced ceramic composition delivers a unique blend of high strength (flexural strength up to 1200 MPa), exceptional toughness (KIC> 8 MPa·m¹/²), and superior wear resistance, outperforming many traditional ceramics and even metals in demanding applications.
Additional key properties include low thermal conductivity (2-3 W/(m·K)) and electrical insulation (volume resistivity >10¹⁴ Ω·cm at room temperature), making them ideal for applications in high-temperature sensors, precision guiding systems, medical instrumentation, and semiconductor manufacturing—where durability, dimensional accuracy, and resistance to extreme conditions are critical.
