Ceramic Nozzle Manufacturing Experts
Ceramic nozzles are high-tech, innovative parts with obvious advantages over traditional metal and other materials. They are not only resistant to high temperatures, wear, and high pressure but also to acid, alkali, and oxidation corrosion, which greatly increases their service life. Ceramic nozzles are ideal for high-pressure cleaning, chemical and pharmaceutical, energy and environmental protection, and other fields.
We manufacture ceramic nozzles from various materials, including alumina, zirconium oxide, silicon nitride, and other materials. They are formed by injection, dry pressing, hot pressing, and other molding processes. Therefore, we can achieve various shapes and sizes of products through customized molds. After sintering, the products will be further processed by dimensional precision and surface quality treatment according to the usage scenario and flow accuracy. After precision machining, the dimensional tolerance of the products can reach +/-0.01mm, and the surface finish can reach Ra0.1 after polishing.
If you have been suffering from the short lifetime of conventional nozzles, as well as their current performance. Please contact us today, we will provide you with an ideal solution that will be ready to bring exceptional benefits for you.
By Materials
As different fine ceramic materials can provide unique properties, such as extremely wear resistance, high-temp thermal shock, superb low friction, it is necessary to select the appropriate ceramic material in a targeted manner.
One of the most common applications for surface treatment, cleaning, and deburring processes.
This nozzle is suitable for low and medium pressure environments and is suitable for using fine grit abrasives.
Due to alumina offering superb wear resistance and high-temperature resistance, it’s a good choice for welding tips.
Owing to superb flexural strength of zirconia, they are suitable for high pressure and high-toughness spraying.
Magnesia stabilized zirconia ceramic nozzle combines the cost-efficiency and short-term thermal shock advantages.
This yttria stabilized zirconia air nozzle is a very precise component, which can control the dosage of oil spraying.
Si3N4 ceramic nozzle offers extreme high-temperature thermal shock, it’s suitable for more demanding applications.
Boron nitride nozzles are ideal for extremely high temperature applications, but soft abrasive sandblasting.
What Are Ceramic Nozzles?
Ceramic nozzles are a type of accessory made from refined, high-performance, advanced ceramics. They are mainly applied in environments with extreme requirements such as ultra-high temperature, ultra-high pressure, high corrosion, and high precision for liquid and gas injection, cutting, spraying, and cooling. You can discover the core attributes as follows:
● Material properties:
Typical materials for ceramic nozzles include high alumina (Al2O3), zirconium oxide (ZrO2), silicon nitride (SiC), silicon carbide (Si3N4), and boron nitride (BN), all of which have high hardness, high wear resistance, excellent high-temperature stability, and corrosion resistance.
● Precision dimensions:
Unlike traditional nozzles, their dimensional tolerances have precise requirements, generally several millimeters or even microns. Therefore, after sintering, post-processing such as machining is required.
● Functional design:
Since ceramic nozzles are widely used in various extreme environments, how can the product design be more suitable for operation in high temperature, high pressure, high wear, and corrosion media? How to accurately control the flow rate, flow rate, and ejection angles of the fluids? What kind of surface treatment is needed to improve product performance? All these need to be integrated into the design concept.
● Main benefits:
1. Long life: The wear resistance of ceramic nozzles is several times or even dozens of times that of traditional metal nozzles, so ceramic nozzles greatly reduce the number of replacements.
2. High efficiency: Ceramic nozzles have a low friction coefficient and a smooth surface, which can greatly improve work efficiency.
3. Good stability: Whether in high temperature or a corrosive environment, they can maintain their appearance for a long time.
The main applications of ceramic nozzles
※ Industrial manufacturing and processing, such as laser cutting and welding, water jet cutting, plasma spraying, and surface treatment.
※ Electronic manufacturing, like chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) in semiconductor processes, and 3D printing.
※ Environmental protection and chemical industry, including chemical reactors, desulfurization, and denitrification systems.
※ Medical and production technology, for example, drug atomization and microfluidic chips.
※ Energy and aerospace, i.e, rocket engine fuel injection, gas turbine cooling nozzles.
Conclusions
Ceramic nozzles are key components that combine materials science and engineering. They can ensure that fluids can reach their destination more accurately and efficiently in a variety of harsh working environments, and extend the life of the product. However, the product has high requirements for sintering equipment and is difficult to process. Controlling production costs is a direction that needs to be considered in the future.
Because ceramic nozzles are resistant to high temperatures, corrosion, wear, and have precise dimensions, they are often used in industries such as environmental protection and energy, electronics and semiconductors, smelting and chemical engineering, automobiles and aerospace, medical care, and food.
The core advantages of ceramic nozzles over metal include 3 aspects:
- The wear resistance: Due to the hardness of advanced ceramics is much higher than metals, the wear resistance performance of ceramic nozzles is greater than metal ones.
- Chemical stability: Ceramic nozzles can withstand most acids, alkalis, and never be oxidized
- High temperature resistance: Almost all ceramic nozzles have better stability when they work under high temperature conditions.
Yes, we support OEM/ODM service for ceramic nozzles. Some of the customized ceramic nozzles can be shaped with custom molds, while some of them need to be machined further.
Generally, we can provide a dimensional inspection report and a mechanical properties test report. The other special report needs to be consulted.
We can provide free samples for qualification if it’s a standard type with stock. If it’s a customized order, the sample cost will be charged for prototyping samples.
