Zirconia Oxide Brick
Zirconia oxide brick is a brick made up of zirconium dioxide. It is a heat-resistant ceramic material which is used as a refractory material in different industrial processes, especially in steelmaking and cement production. Zirconia oxide brick is used in extreme conditions because of its high melting point. As a result, it can withstand extremely high temperatures and pressures.
The main component of zirconia oxide brick is zirconium dioxide or zirconia (ZrO2). Zirconia is a white material that has high resistance to wear and extreme temperatures. It has a high melting point and can withstand temperatures up to article 2600°C in oxygen-rich environments. The strength, hardness and thermal stability are very impressive and that is why it is preferred for refractory use.
The production of zirconia oxide brick involves several steps. The zircon sand is first crushed and then the zirconium dioxide is extracted. This is then mixed with a binder to form a slurry which is then shaped into bricks using a hydraulic press. The bricks are then dried and fired at high temperatures to remove the binder and form the final product.
The zirconia oxide bricks are used in a variety of applications such as heat insulation, thermal insulation, spark resistance and refractory protection. They are used in a wide range of industries such as glass-making, metallurgy, petrochemicals and energy production. The absorb x-rays and ultra-violet rays, making them particularly useful for x-ray technicians and nuclear engineers.
Zirconia oxide bricks have many advantages over traditional refractory materials. They are more resistant to thermal shock, can withstand higher temperatures and are more resistant to chemical attack. They are also much lighter and more economical than traditional brick materials.
The investment in zirconia oxide brick is worth it. It is a material that is durable and long lasting and will save you money in the long run. If your industry demands high temperature-resistant materials, then zirconia oxide brick is the best choice for you. Its thermal shock resistance and high strength to-weight ratio make it a very suitable material for various applications.
