Yttria-Stabilized Zirconia Beads (YZ)

Yttria-Stabilized Zirconia Beads (YZ) are high-density, high-hardness fine ceramic beads made of stabilized zirconium oxide material, which can provide precise and consistent surface treatment effects. They have higher strength, density and impact resistance and are suitable for surface finishing and ultra-fine shot peening of hard metals.
