1000kgs Zirconia ceramic beads B40 loading to Russia
On September 6, 2025, 1000 kg of zirconia ceramic beads was shipped to Russia for use in stainless steel sandblasting.
The main component of Zirconia ceramic beads B40 is zirconium oxide, which is mainly used for surface treatment such as sandblasting and shot peening. The production process of ceramic sand is to melt high-quality imported zircon sand into liquid at high temperature, and then blow it into balls. The manufactured zirconia ceramic spheres are screened and magnetically separated to remove impurities to obtain high roundness, high strength and uniform particle size particles. The spherical particles of ceramic sand can achieve better surface brightness during the sandblasting process, and the workpiece itself does not change color. It is widely used in sandblasting and surface treatment in industries such as aviation parts, stainless steel plates, structural parts, stainless steel kitchenware, medical devices, mobile phone/laptop housings, automobile chassis/engines, sports equipment, etc.
