Technology & Design Highlights

Aluminium oxide ceramic balls are engineered around a polycrystalline alumina structure that balances strength, wear resistance, and high-temperature stability for demanding industrial duty.

Polycrystalline Alumina Structure

Oxide balls with a polycrystalline structure are lightweight and provide good mechanical properties while resisting heat, corrosion, and abrasion. This structure supports stable performance in rolling contact, seating, and metering roles where surface durability and shape retention are critical.

Precision And Dimensional Stability

ISO 3290 grades G5 to G40 support controlled tolerance selection for precision applications such as flow meters and measuring tools. Dimensional stability at high temperatures supports consistent fit and predictable functional behavior in elevated-temperature equipment.

Thermal And Mechanical Capability

Mechanical data includes hardness 1250 to 1700, density 3.9 g/cm³, Young’s Modulus 365GPa, tensile strength 2100 to 2600MPa, and service temperature 1100/1600 °C. These values support engineering selection for stiffness, wear resistance, and high-temperature suitability.

Corrosion Resistance Engineering Boundaries

The corrosion resistance statement emphasizes best corrosion resistance in water, salt solution, and acid in harsh environments, while identifying exceptions including hydrofluoric acid, hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, and hot alkaline solid solution. This boundary-based approach improves selection accuracy and reduces the risk of chemical incompatibility.
