YSZBALL24P High-Purity Yttria-Stabilized Zirconia Milling Ball Combo with 24 Ceramic Balls in 3 Sizes for Fine Powder Milling
YSZBALL24P is designed to optimize milling efficiency in laboratory-scale powder processing, particularly for applications requiring contamination-free grinding. This combo set includes 24 yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) ceramic balls of varying diameters, enabling versatile milling strategies to achieve ultra-fine particle sizes below 1 micron. The assortment of ball sizes allows users to tailor the milling media to different materials and milling conditions, enhancing grinding performance and uniformity.
The balls are manufactured from high-purity 99.5% YSZ, known for its exceptional hardness and chemical inertness, which prevents contamination during milling. Their typical Vickers hardness ranges from 12 to 12.3, ensuring durability and resistance to wear. This makes the YSZBALL24P set especially suitable for sensitive compound chemical preparations and precision milling tasks. The set is compatible with lab milling machines such as the MTI SFM-3 Mixer and mill.
