Zirconia ceramic socket head cap screws are the most thermally resistant screws available. Due to their outstanding thermal resistance, zirconia ceramic screws are geared for the most demanding high temperature applications. Zirconia ceramic socket head cap screws also have outstanding corrosion resistance and are highly chemically resistant to acids, solvents, and salts. Additionally, zirconia ceramic socket head cap screws find many uses in high voltage applications due to their non-conductive electrical properties.
Zirconia ceramic socket head cap screws are available in both metric and standard sizes. Please contact us if you have any questions about the properties or availability of our ceramic socket head cap screws.
Socket head cap screws made from customer specified ceramic grades or custom dimensions are available upon request.
Screw Types: Flat Head Screws, Hex Cap Screws, Pan Head Screws, Set Screws, Socket Head Cap Screws
Ceramic Zirconia Socket Head Cap Screw Features and Benefits
When it comes to ceramic zirconia socket head cap screws, it’s all about clearance. These screws are the best choice for applications with limited installation access or clearance. Yet if you have an application with a lot of debris, you may want to select a ceramic zirconia hex head bolt or hex head cap screw, as they don’t have a socket drive which could get clogged.
Advantages:
- Ideal for applications with limited access as they require very little clearance around the fastener.
- Socket head cap screws can be used in locations where externally wrenched fasteners aren't desirable.
- Weight reduction on application as ceramic zirconia socket head cap screws are smaller – being that the cylindrical heads of socket screws need less space than hex heads and require no additional wrench space.
- Also known for safety, reliability and economy.
Common Ceramic Grades
Zirconia YSZ
Zirconia ceramic or Zirconium Oxide (ZrO2) is one of the most temperture stable materials available having a usable temperature range up to 3812°F (2100°C) and melting point at 4900°F (2700°C). This material is stabelized with yittria to prevent cracking and therefore designated as Yittria Stabilized Zirconia (YSZ). This grade is stronger, tougher and more thermally resistant than alumina.
Other grades are available upon request.
