Pumping Components-1

The excellent erosive wear and corrosion resistance of Technox? zirconias has led to their use in several pump components, typically parts subjected to high stress, such as shafts, couplings or thrust plates. Centrifugal pumps are available which have all major parts in advanced ceramics materials, with zirconia being used for the shaft, rotor cover and can. Typical applications areas for such pumps are in sludge pumps and process pumps for the chemical industry. Both Mg-PSZ and Y-TZP components have been successfully applied in petrochemical and process industries as valves, seats, nozzles etc.
