ZrO2 Ceramic Fastener Application Guide: High Temperature & MRI
ZrO2 Ceramic Fastener Application Guide
ZrO2 (zirconia) ceramic fasteners are the most extreme non-metallic fasteners, providing reliable connections where both plastics and metals fail.
Key Properties
- Ultra-high temperature: continuous up to 1000°C
- MRI compatible: completely non-magnetic
- Electrical insulation: excellent dielectric properties
- Chemical inertness: resists almost all chemicals
- Biocompatible: suitable for medical devices
Applications
- Medical equipment: MRI machine internal fasteners
- Semiconductor fabrication: fasteners in high-temperature process chambers
- High-temperature furnaces: kilns and heat treatment (>300°C)
- Vacuum systems: low outgassing, high cleanliness
- Corrosive environments: strong acid and alkali
Notes
Ceramic fasteners are hard but brittle. Control torque during installation and avoid impact loads. Ceramic-specific tools recommended.
