Ceramic balls are derived from advanced ceramic powders such as alumina (Al₂O₃), zirconia (ZrO₂), silicon nitride (Si₃N₄), and silicon carbide (SiC). These raw materials, sourced as ultra-fine particles, undergo powder metallurgy processes: mixed with binders, they are formed into spherical preforms via isostatic pressing or injection molding. The preforms are then sintered at 1,400–2,200°C to create dense, uniform structures. Post-sintering, precision grinding and polishing refine them to micron-level tolerances.

Ceramic balls offer diverse applications due to their high hardness and corrosion resistance. In bearings, they reduce friction in high-speed machinery like electric vehicles and dental drills, enhancing efficiency. For valves and pumps, materials like silicon nitride withstand harsh chemicals in oil and pharmaceutical industries, ensuring longevity.In semiconductor manufacturing, non-conductive ceramic balls clean sensitive components without contamination. They also serve as abrasive media in precision polishing for aerospace parts or jewelry, providing a smooth finish.
