ZTA4694 Zirconia Toughened Alumina (ZTA) Rectangular Crucible

Zirconia Toughened Alumina (ZTA) Rectangular Crucible Description

Zirconia Toughened Alumina (ZTA) Rectangular Crucible is a composite ceramic with excellent mechanical properties. It is produced by the addition of Zirconia to the main Alumina matrix before sintering. It combines the advantages of both materials, offering enhanced mechanical strength and abrasion resistance. Zirconia Toughened Alumina (ZTA) is stronger and tougher than ordinary alumina ceramic, and provides high thermal shock resistance, but costs less than zirconia. Additionally, ZTA crucibles exhibit a better surface finish than Alumina making them an excellent choice for bio-compatible and analytical grade applications.

Zirconia Toughened Alumina (ZTA) Rectangular Crucible FAQs

Q1: How should ZTA Rectangular Crucibles be cleaned and maintained?

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

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

Sterilisation: Can be sterilised using autoclaving, dry heat, or chemical disinfectants due to their thermal and chemical resistance.

Q2: What precautions should be taken when using ZTA Rectangular Crucibles?

Handling: Handle with care to avoid dropping or impacting the crucibles, as they can be brittle and may crack or break under mechanical stress.

Temperature Changes: Avoid rapid temperature changes to prevent thermal shock, which can cause cracking.

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

Q3: Can ZTA Rectangular Crucibles be customised?

Yes, ZTA rectangular crucibles can be customised to meet specific requirements, including different sizes, shapes, and thicknesses. Customisation can also include specific designs or features to accommodate unique application needs.
