Ceramic Peening Beads
Ceramic peening beads are white,spherical ceramic shot media,primarily composed of zirconia and silica. This product is mainly used for surface strengthening of large components and is often utilized in the aerospace industry. This product's spherical shape is smoother, offering excellent wear resistance and impact performance.
Product Detail
Ceramic shot is sintered using an electric melting method, resulting in a distinctive internal crystal phase structure with very fine ZrO₂ particles (1-2 μm in diameter) arranged in a tile-like pattern within the SiO₂ matrix. This unique microstructure provides high hardness, impact resistance and excellent wear resistance. It ensures that ceramic sand maintains superior strength and hardness. In contrast, coarse structural grains reduce both the strength and toughness of the shot, leading to premature breakage and fragmentation during use.
The spherical shape, smooth surface, and dust-free nature of the particles create ideal conditions for a good working environment.
Stable chemical inertness ensures that the processed workpieces remain uncontaminated.
This product is widely used in high carbon steel, stainless steel, aluminum alloys, titanium alloys, magnesium alloys, brass, copper alloys and plastics. Ceramic beads perform excellently in both dry and wet sandblasting systems, as well as in shot peening equipment.
