What Are The Characteristics Of ZTA Balls?

What is ZTA ball? ZAT ball is a kind of grinding ball developed in China. It is made of specific calcined alumina powder, a certain amount of zirconium-containing powder and other raw materials through a ball mill to a certain fineness, spray granulated, and then formed by isostatic pressing. It is formed by mechanical pressing and calcined at high temperature in a tunnel kiln. Its appearance provides an additional choice for customers who pursue high grinding cost performance, and enriches the product line of ceramic grinding balls.

 What are the characteristics of ZTA balls?

1. The whiteness of the product is close to that of high-aluminum balls, but the price advantage is becoming more and more obvious

The name of the high alumina ball comes from the high alumina content. An important reason why high-alumina balls are popular in the ceramic industry is that the products have high whiteness and less pollution to abrasive materials. Since the previous year, the price of domestic alumina powder has been rising steadily due to factors such as environmental protection policies regulating output. This directly leads to a further increase in the production cost of high-alumina balls with it as the main raw material. Although domestic zirconium raw materials also show signs of rising, the production cost of zirconium-aluminum composite balls is still in a controllable range, and there is no significant price increase. Not only that, by adding a certain amount of zirconium, the zirconium-aluminum composite ball not only enhances the toughness, but also has a whiteness close to that of the high-alumina ball. Therefore, compared with the increasingly expensive high-aluminum ball, its price advantage is more and more obvious.

2. The grinding efficiency is comparable to that of medium and high aluminum balls, but the whiteness advantage of the product is obvious.

 After understanding, some businesses will think that the price of high aluminum balls is too high and choose medium and high aluminum balls with lower prices. However, the problem of product whiteness of medium and high aluminum balls is also a headache for some businesses who want to grind blanks that require whiteness. The grinding efficiency of zirconium-aluminum composite balls is comparable to that of medium and high aluminum balls. At the same time, its product whiteness is one level higher than that of medium and high aluminum balls. Therefore, some merchants who have certain requirements for product whiteness but do not need to reach the level of high-aluminum balls prefer to choose zirconium-aluminum composite balls.

In addition, generally speaking, the quality of zirconium-aluminum composite balls with good density and high degree of porcelain is better.
