Calcia stabilised zirconia tube Description
Calcia stabilised zirconia tubes represent an important development among zirconia products, offering an alternative to magnesia‐stabilised zirconia. They are particularly beneficial for manufacturing processes where magnesia is problematic, given that they exhibit a higher thermal expansion, thereby ensuring the required performance. These tubes have a documented resistance to high temperatures, maintaining chemical inertness and temperature cycle stability (up to 2 200 °C) as well as resistance to corrosive acids and alkalis.

Applications of Calcia Stabilised Zirconia Tubes
Calcia stabilised zirconia tubes are used in shafts, pistons, sealing systems in automotive components, oil drilling equipment, insulative parts in electrical devices, ceramic knives and replacement components for ceramic hair clippers. They are employed where the inherent density, bending strength and fracture toughness are required.
Packaging of Calcia Stabilised Zirconia Tubes
Our Calcia stabilised zirconia tubes are managed with care to minimise damage during storage and transport, thereby preserving the products in their original condition.
