● High density - up to 6.1 g/cm^3; ● High flexural strength and hardness; ● Excellent fracture toughness - impact resistance; ● High maximum operating temperature; ● Wear-resistant; ● Good friction properties; ● Electrical insulator; ● Low thermal conductivity - approx. 10% alumina; ● Acid and alkali corrosion resistance; ● Similar to the modulus of elasticity of steel; ● Similar coefficient of thermal expansion to iron.
In terms of functional ceramics, its excellent high temperature resistance is used as induction heating tubes, refractory materials, and heating elements. Zirconia ceramics have sensitive electrical performance parameters and are mainly used in oxygen sensors, solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC) and high temperature heating elements. ZrO2 has a high refractive index (N-21^22), adding certain coloring elements (V2O5, MoO3, Fe2O3, etc.) to the ultra-fine zirconia powder, it can be made into colorful translucent polycrystalline ZrO2 materials , shining like a natural gemstone with brilliant and colorful light, it can be made into a variety of decorations. In addition, zirconia is being widely used in thermal barrier coatings, catalyst carriers, medical care, health care, refractories, textiles and other fields.
