What is the property of zirconia as structural and fuctional ceramic?
03-30-2021

Zirconia has excellent mechanical properties, with higher strength and fracture toughness than alumina. It is also used in milling machines, sliding parts and cutting blades. Zirconia exhibits great heat insulation, as its thermal conductivity is less than 1/10 that of other ceramics.

 

Zirconium oxide ceramics are white, yellow or gray when containing impurities, and generally contain HfO 2, which is not easily separated. Pure ZrO2 has three crystal states under normal pressure. The production of zirconia ceramics requires the preparation of high-purity, good dispersion properties, ultra-fine particles, narrow particle size distribution, zirconia ultrafine powder preparation methods, zirconia purification mainly chlorination and thermal decomposition, alkali metal Oxidative decomposition method, lime melting method, plasma arc method, precipitation method, colloid method, hydrolysis method, spray pyrolysis etc.

 

In terms of structural ceramics, zirconia ceramics are widely used in the field of structural ceramics because of their high toughness, high flexural strength and high wear resistance, excellent thermal insulation properties, and thermal expansion coefficient close to that of steel.

 

In terms of functional ceramics, its excellent high temperature resistance is used as an induction heating tube, refractory material, and heating element. Zirconia ceramics have sensitive electrical performance parameters and are mainly used in oxygen sensors, solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC) and high temperature heating bodies.


With these excellent properties,zirconia brick produced by zawa has good applications in industries.
