As a new type of high-performance tool, zirconia industrial ceramic blades are gradually emerging and are favored by more and more industries. It is mainly made of nano-material “zirconia”. With its unique advantages, it has a wide range of applications in structural ceramics. So, what are the characteristics and applications of zirconia industrial ceramic blades? Let’s take a deeper look.
Main points of zirconia industrial ceramic blade production
The production process of zirconia industrial ceramic blades has strict requirements for raw material powder. To ensure that the blade performs excellently, it is necessary to prepare powders with high purity, good dispersibility, ultrafine particles, and narrow particle size distribution. At present, there are many common preparation methods in the industry, including oxidation decomposition method, lime melting method, plasma arc method, precipitation method, colloid method, hydrolysis method and spray pyrolysis method. These methods have their characteristics and advantages. By reasonably selecting and optimizing process parameters, they can provide high-quality basic raw materials for the production of high-quality zirconia industrial ceramic blades.
Outstanding features of zirconia industrial ceramic blades
High hardness
Hardness is one of the important indicators for measuring tool performance, and zirconia industrial ceramic blades are particularly outstanding in this regard. Its Rockwell hardness reaches HRA80 – 90, second only to diamond, the hardest substance in nature, and far exceeds the hardness of wear-resistant steel and stainless steel. This high hardness enables zirconia industrial ceramic blades to maintain sharp edges during cutting and cutting, effectively improving processing efficiency and quality.
Excellent wear resistance
In addition to high hardness, zirconia industrial ceramic blades also have extremely excellent wear resistance. After actual testing and comparison, its wear resistance is equivalent to 266 times that of manganese steel and 171.5 times that of high chromium cast iron. During frequent use, the blade remains sharp and is not easy to wear, which greatly extends the service life of the tool and reduces the frequency of replacement. In contrast, metal blades are prone to rust and passivation and require frequent replacement and maintenance.
Environmental protection and health
Ceramic blades are made of high-purity zirconia material and do not contain harmful chemicals. During use, no harmful substances will be released, ensuring food safety and environmental friendliness. Compared with metal blades, ceramic blades are more environmentally friendly, will not rust or contaminate the cut objects, and ensure safety and health during use.
Easy to clean
Ceramic blades have excellent anti-fouling properties and are not easy to absorb food residues and dirt. When cleaning, just rinse simply to easily remove surface dirt, keep the knife clean, and save cleaning time. Compared with metal blades, ceramic blades are easier to keep sanitary, do not absorb stains and bacteria, and are simple to maintain.
Wide range of applications of zirconia industrial ceramic blades
Zirconium oxide industrial ceramic blades are widely used in many industries due to their excellent performance. It is widely used in all coal-fired, steel, mining, machinery, coal, chemical, cement, port, and other enterprises. In the production process of these enterprises, whether it is the coal conveying system, the grinding system, or the ash removal, dust removal system, etc., zirconia industrial ceramic blades can be seen. Moreover, to meet the needs of different users, different types and specifications of zirconia industrial ceramic blade products have been launched on the market, and enterprises can choose according to their actual needs.
In short, zirconia industrial ceramic blades have shown great advantages and application potential in the industrial field due to their high hardness and excellent wear resistance.
