AC6072 Alumina Toughened Zirconia (ATZ) Bead

Alumina Toughened Zirconia (ATZ) Beads - Description

Alumina Toughened Zirconia (ATZ) Beads are specialised ceramic grinding media used in various milling and grinding applications. ATZ beads are produced using the titration rolling process and sintering technology at medium temperatures. The composite grains within the beads are dense and fine. The compressive strength of the beads is increased by more than 30% compared to zircon silicate beads, while simultaneously reducing wear, thus enabling efficient dispersion and comminution of materials using high-speed sand mills.
