With the diversification and increased speed of industrial machinery, demand for wear-resistant parts is growing rapidly. S&S Advance Ceramics has researched and developed wear-resistant parts for various markets, using a wide range of materials and precision technology. S&S Advance Ceramics’ wear-resistant parts are used in a wide range of applications and purposes, and continue to help increase productivity.
Unlike many ceramic materials, Yttrium Stabilized Zirconia has high strength and toughness and is ideal for applications where there is high impact. The material has exceptional wear resistance and abrasive materials have minimal effect on its surface. It has a low coefficient of friction, is resistant to chemical attack from most acidic or caustic solutions and mixes. Most importantly the material produces highly consistent results because of its high reliability (Weibull Modulus > 30) In Carbon Zinc dry cell battery production, YTZP has become the material of choice in conveying the highly abrasive and corrosive battery mix from the mixers to the battery. Mixer Units, Extruders, Nozzles, Dies, Punches, Plates, Rollers, Inserts, Tips, Sleeves, Sweeper Blades, Goose Neck and Holders are all produced from YTZP and extend component life over conventional materials such as Stellite and hardened alloys.
