Discontinued (Discontinued) ZTA4691 Zirconia Toughened Alumina (ZTA) Conical Crucible

Cone Crucible Made of Toughened Zirconia (ZTA) Description

The cone crucible made of zirconia-toughened alumina (ZTA) is a composite ceramic with excellent mechanical properties. It is produced by the addition of zirconia to the alumina matrix prior to sintering. This material combines the advantages of both components, offering high mechanical strength and wear resistance. Zirconia Toughened Alumina (ZTA) is stronger and tougher than standard alumina ceramics and exhibits high thermal shock resistance while being less expensive than zirconia. Furthermore, ZTA crucibles have a superior surface finish compared to alumina, making them an excellent choice for biocompatible and analytical applications.

Frequently Asked Questions About Cone Crucibles Made of Toughened Zirconia (ZTA)

Q1: How should cone ZTA crucibles be cleaned and maintained?

Cleaning: Clean with suitable solvents and avoid using abrasive materials that may scratch the surface. Ultrasonic cleaning may also be used.

Maintenance: Handle them with care to prevent mechanical damage. Store in a clean, dry environment to avoid contamination.

Sterilisation: Due to their thermal and chemical resistance, they can be sterilised by autoclaving, dry heat or chemical disinfectants.

Q2: What sizes and shapes are available for cone ZTA crucibles?

Cone crucibles made of ZTA are available in various sizes and shapes, suitable for different types of laboratory and industrial applications. Custom sizes and shapes can also be manufactured to meet specific requirements.

Q3: What precautions should be taken when using cone ZTA crucibles?

Handling: Do not drop or apply impact to the crucibles, as they are brittle and may break or crack under mechanical stress.

Temperature Fluctuations: Avoid rapid temperature changes to prevent thermal shock that could lead to cracking.

Chemical Compatibility: Ensure compatibility with the chemicals being used to avoid reactions that may compromise the integrity of the crucible.
