Zirconium dioxide (ZrO₂) is a high-purity ceramic material known for its outstanding thermal stability, mechanical strength, and resistance to wear and corrosion. It is widely used in advanced ceramics, dental implants, refractory applications, and structural components. Due to its superior performance in extreme conditions, zirconium dioxide plays a critical role in precision engineering, biomedical applications, and high-performance industrial solutions.
Product Overview
Zirconium dioxide (ZrO2) is a white crystalline oxide, typically in a monoclinic crystal structure, and naturally occurs as the mineral baddeleyite. Through synthesis, a stable cubic form of zirconia can be obtained, which is widely used in various colored gemstones and diamond simulants. Known for its excellent chemical stability, zirconium dioxide is commonly used in the production of hard ceramics, refractory materials, and high-temperature sensors.
Product Features
- High Stability:Zirconium dioxide has a very stable crystal structure that allows it to maintain its properties at high temperatures.
- Good Electrical Conductivity:As an oxygen ion conductor, ZrO2 has widespread applications in fuel cells and oxygen sensors.
- High Temperature Resistance:With an extremely high melting point and excellent heat resistance, it is suitable for harsh industrial applications.
- Color Diversity:Synthetic cubic zirconia can be used as a gemstone or diamond simulant, possessing a beautiful appearance.
Applications
- Hard Ceramic Manufacturing:Used in the production of dental ceramics and other hard ceramics, particularly in dental restoration materials.
- Metal and Fiber Production:Applied in the preparation of zirconium and zirconium compounds, as well as in the production of specialty steels and non-ferrous metals.
- Refractory Materials and Coatings:As a component in refractory materials, abrasives, and enamels, it is widely used in industrial fields.
- Oxygen Sensors and Fuel Cell Membranes:Due to its excellent oxygen ion conductivity, zirconium dioxide is extensively used in oxygen sensors and fuel cell membranes.
- Electrochromic Devices:As a solid electrolyte, zirconium dioxide is used in electrochromic devices.
