Discontinued (Discontinued) ZTA4694 Zirconia Toughened Alumina (ZTA) Rectangular Crucible

Rectangular Crucible Made from Zirconia Toughened Alumina (ZTA) Description

The rectangular crucible made from zirconia toughened alumina (ZTA) is a composite ceramic with excellent mechanical properties. It is produced by adding zirconia to the aluminium oxide matrix prior to sintering. This material combination offers substantial advantages, providing high mechanical strength and abrasion resistance. Zirconia Toughened Alumina (ZTA) is denser and tougher than standard aluminium oxide ceramics, exhibiting high thermal shock resistance, while being less expensive than zirconium oxide. Furthermore, ZTA crucibles possess superior surface quality compared to aluminium oxide, making them an ideal choice for biocompatible and analytical applications.

Frequently Asked Questions about Rectangular Crucibles Made from Zirconia Toughened Alumina (ZTA)

Q1: How should the rectangular ZTA crucibles be cleaned and maintained?

Cleaning: Use appropriate solvents and avoid abrasive cleaners that may scratch the surface. Ultrasonic cleaning may also be employed.

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

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

Q2: What precautions should be taken when using ZTA rectangular crucibles?

Handling: Do not drop the crucibles and avoid impacts, as they are brittle and can fracture or crack under mechanical stress.

Temperature Fluctuations: Avoid rapid temperature changes to prevent thermal shock, which can lead to cracking.

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

Q3: Can the rectangular ZTA crucibles be customised?

Yes, rectangular ZTA crucibles can be customised to meet specific requirements, including different sizes, shapes, and thicknesses. Customer specifications may also include particular designs or features to address unique application needs.
