Zirconia (YSZ) Mortar and pestles

Yttria stabilized zirconia(YSZ) is a sintered advanced ceramic material and it is the most common form of stabilized zirconia ceramic. Typical composition of Yttria Stabilized Zirconia is 94.7% ZrO2 + 5.2% Y2O3(weight percentage) or 97 ZrO2 + 3% Y2O3 (mol percentage)

The high density and wear resistance of zirconia making it an idea material for grinding equipment such as mortars and pestles. Compared with alumina and agate mortar set, the YSZ zirconia mortar and pestles are much more durable. Mortar made by zirconia also has better corrosion resistance to keep low contamination for the material processed. One more important application is for HF. Zirconia 's inertness to HF and other acids make it superior to Agate and other Al2O3/SiO2 based materials.

The common dimension range of QSRE supplied zirconia mortars  

W. =50~200mm  

D= 30~180mm

*The sample drawing above is a popular design of our products, which W=100mm D=80mm
