Q:
I am looking for some high tensile strength studs with good electricity resistance. I think zirconia of aluminia material will be suitable but I am open for suggestions. The studs would be about 5 inches long.

Probably ceramics fasteners are not the best choice for this situation. It is true that ceramics have high tensile strength, but they have no yield strength and at this length, a ceramic stud will be quite fragile.

Without knowing anything about your application, I would suggest looking at a fiber reinforced polymers like glass reinforced PEEK fastener. These will be stronger, tougher and much more cost effective. PEEK fasteners also will offer excellent electrical resistance.
