Application of Zirconia ball
ZrO2 ball is mainly used for valve ball, full ceramic bearing, metering ball, track ball and precision grinding ball. It can be used in fields requiring chemical resistance, high temperature, electronic insulation, magnetic insulation, non-lubrication. ZrO2 ball is an idea substitute for steel ball in chemical corrosion application. As valve ball, ZrO2 ball is now successfully used in high pressure homogenizer, diaphragm pump, metering pump, oil well pump, high pressure sprayer etc.
