Background

Turn to Morgan Technical Ceramics Melbourne (MTC Melbourne), formerly Carpenter Advanced Ceramics, advanced zirconia ceramics for your toughest material problems. MTC Melbourne's zirconia offers ideal solutions for many difficult applications where wear, abrasion, impact, corrosion and high temperatures cause conventional materials to fail. MTC Melbourne's patented compositions and highly-controlled manufacturing processes ensure that you will be working with the strongest, toughest, most consistent Mg-PSZ that you can buy - anywhere. Try MTC Melbourne's zirconia today.

Advanced Zirconia Ceramics for Structural Applications

MTC Melbourne process and manufacturing flexibility allows us to produce components across the broadest range of sizes and complexity. MTC Melbourne can produce components up to 20” (500mm) diameter with cross sections up to 2” (50mm). Our engineers will work with you to design cost-effective Zirconia Ceramic components that really perform.

Grades of Magnesia Partially Stabilized Zirconia (Mg-PSZ)

MTC Melbourne provides two standard grades of Mg-PSZ:

MS Grade of Magnesia Partially Stabilized Zirconia

High mechanical strength and toughness. Average thermal shock resistance. Best suited to applications below 1000°F (550°C) and minimum thermal cycling.

TS Grade of Magnesia Partially Stabilized Zirconia

Modified for thermal cycling applications.

Applications of Magnesia Partially Stabilized Zirconia

The combination of toughness, strength and resistance to wear, erosion and corrosion make MTC Melbourne's Mg-PSZ the material of choice for a wide range of applications. The following are some of the dozens of successful time and cost saving uses for the material.

  • Valve Trim Components - Balls, seats, plugs, discs, liners for severe duty valves
  • Metal Processing - Tooling, rolls, dies, wear guides, can seaming rolls
  • Wear Liners - Liners, cyclone liners and chokes for the mineral industry
  • Bearings - Inserts and sleeves for the abrasive materials industry
  • Pump Parts - Wear rings and bushes for severe duty slurry pumps
