The origin of zirconia can be traced back to 1975. In 1975 Australia, one scholar put forward for the first time using Zr2O transformation to increase the toughness of ceramics, so the effect of ZrO2 on ceramic correlation studies from the beginning to become popular, some scholars began to transition from crystallography, thermodynamics, toughening mechanism and the material preparation technology and system to study ZrO2. The emergence of zirconia this substance abstracted from stones, were later used in gas chimney. Later, this material was applied to the refractory material, coloring and abrasive etc..

Zirconia ball is a non-metallic material of high temperature resistance, corrosion resistance, abrasion resistance, high conductivity of inorganic. Twentieth Century at the beginning of the 20's is applied to the field of refractory materials, the last century since 70 time metaphase, International Europe and other developed countries to invest heavily in research and development production of zirconia and zirconia series products production technology. In the past ten years, people have developed many new products with excellent performance, therefore its application is expanding constantly.
