CORUNDUM PLANETARY BALL MILL JAR 95% AL₂O₃ 50ML-2L MOHS 9 ISOSTATIC

RESEARCH GRADE MATERIAL

Product Overview

ATOMFAIR® Corundum Planetary Ball Mill Jar (95% Al₂O₃ ceramic jar) is manufactured from high-purity α-Al₂O₃ via 95% Al₂O₃ isostatic pressed 1600°C sintered integrated forming technology, delivering a fully densified, delamination-free, pore-free structure. With Mohs 9 no heavy metal contamination 1000°C performance—the highest hardness among conventional grinding jar materials—this jar is purpose-built for high-hardness mineral ultrafine grinding of quartz, feldspar, and refractory materials. The interior features a smooth arc-transition design without dead corners, preventing powder adhesion and enabling easy cleaning. The jar releases only trace aluminum elements with absolutely no iron, chromium, or nickel metal contamination. Standard volumes from 50 ml to 2 L are in stock with compatible stainless steel external clamp fixtures for mainstream vertical and horizontal planetary ball mills; 3 L, 5 L, large-capacity, and vacuum-sealed corundum jars are available upon custom order. Optimal grinding media pairing: corundum grinding balls or zirconia grinding balls (jar hardness ≥ ball hardness to prevent jar wear). This jar is not suitable for high-purity applications where aluminum impurities are unacceptable.

Key Features & Advantages

Ultra-High Hardness (Mohs 9)—Ideal for High-Hardness Mineral Grinding: Hardness exceeding agate and stainless steel ensures minimal jar wear when grinding quartz, feldspar, and refractory materials, delivering extended service life under demanding high-hardness material processing.
High-Temperature Stability up to 1000°C for Dry Grinding Processes: The jar maintains structural integrity and does not release impurities under high-temperature calcination and dry powder grinding conditions, supporting elevated-temperature material processing workflows.
Chemically Inert with Excellent Acid-Alkali Resistance: The dense sintered alumina structure resists corrosion in wet glaze and inorganic filler grinding applications, compatible with the majority of aqueous and organic slurry systems without degradation.
Smooth Arc-Transition Interior—No Dead Corners, Easy Cleaning: The integrated arc-molded inner wall prevents powder adhesion and material entrapment, enabling complete material discharge and simplified cleaning between different sample batches.

APPLICATION SCOPE: Ceramic and refractory industry: ceramic body materials, glazes, kaolin, quartz, feldspar, and refractory powder grinding. Building materials and minerals: calcium carbonate, talc, and various non-metallic mineral coarse and fine grinding. General chemical fillers: inorganic color powders, catalyst carriers, and general inorganic powder processing. Laboratory routine powder pretreatment: geological ordinary ores and inorganic oxides where zero aluminum impurity is not required. High-temperature powder dry grinding and pre-calcination powder refinement processes. Compatible with mainstream vertical and horizontal planetary ball mills using standard stainless steel external clamp fixtures.

OPTIMAL GRINDING MEDIA PAIRING: Corundum grinding balls or zirconia grinding balls only (jar hardness ≥ ball hardness to prevent jar wall wear). Strictly prohibited: WC cemented carbide balls and stainless steel balls—hard metal balls will scratch and erode the corundum inner wall, generating substantial aluminum debris contamination.

IMPORTANT NOTICE: Aluminum-sensitive materials strictly prohibited: lithium battery ternary/LFP materials, MLCC high-end electronic ceramics, pharmaceutical high-purity powders, and trace element analysis samples—grinding will introduce Al impurities; use agate or zirconia jars instead. Prohibit pairing with cemented carbide or stainless steel balls for extended grinding: metal hard balls will scratch and erode the corundum inner wall, producing significant aluminum debris contamination. Only corundum and zirconia grinding balls are permitted. Strictly avoid dropping from height and violent impact: corundum has high brittleness; dropping or collision easily causes cracking and renders the jar unusable—handle with care during transport and clamping. Avoid rapid thermal shock: direct water cooling after high-temperature grinding or rapid heating during frozen grinding will create invisible internal cracks leading to later fracture. Hydrofluoric acid (HF) prohibited: HF corrodes aluminum oxide crystals, causing jar dissolution and damage with substantial aluminum impurity release into the slurry. Replace damaged jars immediately: discard jars showing inner wall cracks, ceramic spalling, or chipping—continued grinding will release large amounts of aluminum oxide powder contamination into samples.
