ZG Technical Ceramics™ Isostatically Pressed Zirconia Crucibles
offer resistance to high temperatures, while maintaining excellent
erosion resistance. This allows the caster to operate for longer,
at higher temperatures, making Zirconia the preferred choice of
crucible material for applications such as:
- Platinum/Platinum group metals
- Nickel based super alloys
- Cobalt based super alloys
- Uranium
- Sputter material for hard disk drives
The use of high purity raw materials and our dedication to
quality ensures our products perform well consistently. In addition
to this efficient manufacturing techniques make sure our
clients receive what they need, when needed.
In order to provide quality products we delivers materials of the
highest quality to the market, competitively priced and backed by
the expertise of application knowledge and the resources of the
Research & Development Laboratory in Sheffield.
Product development is both proactive and reactive in that new
materials and technologies are constantly reviewed and where
appropriate incorporated into the manufacturing facilities.
Selection of materials is made by reference to an extensive
application database, which, in conjunction with close liaison with
end users, provides materials offering optimum performance in terms
of cost and operation.
We manufactures a wide range of crucibles based upon stabilised
Zirconia. The properties of the finished product are determined by
both the manufacturing method and the choice of the stabilising
media. Oxides of Calcia, Magnesia and Yttria are utilised as
stabilising agents and each product is characterised by differing
thermal properties.
- magnesia partially stabilized zirconia (Mg-PSZ),
- yttria-stabilized tetragonal zirconia (Y-TZP) zirconia
- partially stabilized with yttria (Y-PSZ),
- zirconia fully stabilized with yttria (Y-FSZ),
- zircon (ZrSiO2),
- aluminum titanate (Al2TiO5),
- mullite (Al6Si2O13)
