Ceramic type MZ

• Zirconia Toughened Alumina (ZTA).
• A superior combination of high strength (from zirconia) and high hardness (from alumina).
• Relatively low density.
• No open porosity.
• Very hard surface, good abrasion and wear resistance.
• Good flexural strength and fracture toughness.
• Excellent thermal properties and high temperature stability.
• Extreme corrosion resistance, nearly chemically inert.
• Electrically insulating with surface resistivity >10¹² Ohm/cm.
• Typically applications includes soldering processes, handling of components during thermal and chemical processes. Generally used when very rigid tips are required.

Stainless Steel body type SA

• Low carbon Austenitic steel.
• Contains from 16.5 to 18.5 wt% chromium and has important quantities of nickel and molybdenum as additional alloying elements.
• Non-magnetizable.
• Good corrosion resistance to most chemicals, salts and acids.
• Generally used where corrosion resistance and toughness are primary requirements.
• Typical applications for the electronic industry, watch-makers, jewelers and laboratory and medical applications in moderately aggressive chemical environments.
