introduction | zirconia, also known as zirconia (ZrO2), is an inorganic nonmetallic material with high temperature resistance, corrosion resistance, wear resistance and excellent electrical conductivity. ZrO2 is not only traditionally used in refractory materials and ceramic pigments, but also in high-tech fields such as electronic ceramics, functional ceramics and structural ceramics. |
application | zirconia beads can be used for ultra-fine grinding and dispersion of non-metallic mining and papermaking heavy calcium, paint, ink, electronic materials, lithium iron batteries, magnetic materials, textile dyes, medicine and other industries. Zirconia has excellent high temperature resistance. The melting point is as high as 2700 ℃. Even if it is heated to 1900 ℃, it will not react with molten aluminum, iron, nickel, platinum and other metals, silicates and acidic slag. The crucible made of zirconia material can successfully melt platinum group precious metals and their alloys such as platinum, palladium, ruthenium, and cesium. Zirconia refractory fiber is a kind of high-grade refractory material. It has higher use temperature and better heat insulation performance than alumina fiber, mullite fiber, aluminum silicate fiber, etc., and has stable high temperature chemical properties, corrosion resistance, oxidation resistance, non-volatile, and no pollution. Zirconia as a refractory material is mainly used in the key parts of large glass tank kilns. After melting and blowing zirconia, zirconia hollow spheres of different sizes are obtained to prepare various high-grade insulation bricks. The main domestic manufacturers are Luoyang Refractory Research Institute. |
