The First Ceramic Ever Developed Specifically for Guide Ring Applications. For decades, the rod component industry has struggled with ceramics adapted from other industries; abrasives, insulators and coatings have doubled as guide rings since the mid 60s. Now, for the first time, KYOCERA®, the world leader in ceramic engineering, has joined with Fujis design team to examine guide ring inserts with a fresh perspective; to start not with sandpaper or electronics in mind, but to reinvent guide rings with a laser focus on what guide rings should do. As expected, such a powerful alliance has resulted in not only a guide ring formulation that shows superior performance, but one that has also met the challenge of optimizing the deep pressed technology Fuji® has perfected over almost two decades of development. In short, Fuji® and KYOCERA® have not only created a better ceramic, they have created a better ceramic that maximizes Fujis existing deep-pressed technology, resulting in a lighter, stronger, more durable guide than ever before. TORZITE® rings have proven superior to other ring materials in ways that allowed a complete re-tooling of what a guide ring should look like and how it should perform. The extra strength, fracture resistance and polish achievable with TORZITE® led to larger inner diameters, smoother finishes, more forgiving cross-sectional profiles and unmatched heat dissipation - all of this in a ring that deep presses with more precision and durability than any previous ring.
not harder than diamonds
yup. it is basically some kind of zirconia ceramic from KYOCERA, and abrasives incorporating zirconia already exist
