Product Overview

Zirconia ceramic custom components are high-performance structural and functional parts manufactured from stabilized zirconium dioxide (ZrO₂). Known for their exceptional toughness, outstanding wear resistance, and a metallic-like aesthetic, zirconia ceramics are one of the most advanced engineering materials used in precision mechanical, optical, and industrial systems.

We provide fully customized zirconia ceramic parts based on drawings, 3D models, or specific engineering requirements—including complex shapes, tight tolerances, and high-polished surfaces.

Material Characteristics

Zirconia ceramics exhibit a rare combination of high strength and fracture toughness, making them suitable for demanding applications where conventional ceramics may fail. Key material properties include:

• High Flexural Strength: Up to 1200 MPa, far exceeding alumina ceramics.

• Exceptional Toughness: Transformation toughening mechanism greatly improves impact resistance.

• Outstanding Wear Resistance: Ideal for long-term friction, sliding, and repetitive mechanical motion.

• Smooth, High-Gloss Finish: After polishing, surfaces can achieve a mirror-like texture comparable to metal.

• Low Thermal Conductivity: Provides excellent thermal insulation.

• High Hardness: 9 on Mohs scale, highly scratch-resistant.

• Chemical Stability: Resistant to acids, alkalis, and most industrial chemicals.

• Biocompatibility: Suitable for medical and food-contact applications.

Manufacturing Technologies

We support a full range of manufacturing methods for zirconia custom parts:

• CNC Machining of Sintered Zirconia – Enables tight tolerances and intricate geometries.

• Pre-sintered Machining + High-Temperature Sintering – Cost-effective for complex shapes.

• Injection Molding (CIM) – Ideal for small, complex, high-volume zirconia components.

• Precision Grinding & Polishing – Achieves Ra < 0.05 μm mirror finish.

• Laser Cutting / Marking – For ultra-fine features and identification codes.

Available materials include 3Y-TZP, Yttria-stabilized Zirconia, Magnesia-stabilized Zirconia, and Black Zirconia.

Typical Applications

Zirconia ceramic custom components are widely used across sectors such as:

• Precision Machinery: bushings, bearings, valve seats, plungers, couplings

• Electronics & Semiconductors: wafer handling parts, insulators, spacers, alignment pins

• Medical & Dental: implants, surgical tools, wear-resistant components

• Aerospace: thermal shields, wear-resistant guides

• Chemical Processing: corrosion-resistant pump parts, nozzles

• Automotive: sensor housings, high-temperature components

• Luxury & Consumer Products: watch parts, knife blades, precision decorative components

FAQ

Q1: What information should I provide for a zirconia ceramic custom quote?

Please send your drawings (STEP, PDF, DWG), material preference, quantity, and any required tolerances or surface finishing.

Q2: Can zirconia ceramic parts be threaded or tapped?

Yes. Internal threads, external threads, and precision holes can be machined, but tolerance and wall-thickness requirements must be considered.

Q3: What is the maximum temperature zirconia can withstand?

Stabilized zirconia can operate at 1000–1200 °C, depending on material type.
