Reinforced zirconia ceramics are wear resistance materials. Making use of the properties of zirconia ceramics, low friction coefficient and high hardness, the life of centralizer’s sleeve is improved significantly. Furthermore, reinforced ceramic has the feature of vibration reduction by toughness. The best applications of wear resistance materials improve the centralizer’s practicability obviously.
The sleeve of centralizer is made by reinforced engineering ceramics. While centralizer working, the sleeve made by reinforced ceramic works as the same as the sleeve made by ordinary nylon. As the wear meets the ceramic sleeve, engineering ceramics sleeve can function as the prevention from side wear. Such feature is beneficial to improve the working life.
