EMS Ceramic Tweezers, Electron Microscopy Sciences
About this item
MZ – Zirconia Toughened Alumina (ZTA):
The wide range of materials that falls within this classification includes traditional ceramics (clay minerals, cement and glass) and advanced ceramics (pure and partially modified ceramics compounds such as alumina or zirconia ceramics). These materials are typically insulating to the passage of electricity and heat, more resistant to higher temperatures and harsher environments than metal and plastic tweezers, and ceramics are hard but usually very brittle. Applications: For the production of our EMS precision tools, we have chosen an uniquely advanced ceramic compound; Zirconia Toughened Alumina (ZTA) It was chosen due to its fracture toughness and its high flexural strength.
MZ – Zirconia Toughened Alumina (ZTA):
A superior combination of high strength (from zirconia) and extreme hardness (from alumina).
Possesses relatively low density; no open porosity.
Offers a very hard surface with good abrasion and wear resistance.
Has good flexural strength and fracture toughness.
Excellent thermal properties and high temperature stability.
Extreme corrosion resistance, nearly chemically inert.
Electrically insulating.
Typically applications include soldering processes, handling of components during thermal and chemical processes. Generally these tweezers are used when very rigid tips are required.
Ceramic Tweezers are best suited for working with acids (except HF), for SDM, solders pot, and high temperature exposure. Clean room approved. Can be sterilized. Solder repellent.
Style 8501: Straight, tips 1mm wide, serrated. Length: 125 mm (5")
Style 8501 FGG: Straight, tips 0.3mm wide, smooth, very fine. Length: 125 mm (5")
Style 8507: Curved, tips 1mm wide, smooth. Length: 125 mm (5")
