Zirconia Ceramic Thermal Insulation Block Product Introduction
Zirconia ceramic thermal insulation blocks are high-performance ceramic materials primarily composed of zirconium dioxide (ZrO₂), typically white at room temperature, and containing trace amounts of hafnium dioxide (HfO₂) and the stabilizer yttrium oxide (Y₂O₃). This material possesses the following core characteristics:
1. High melting point: Reaching 2715℃, suitable for high-temperature applications.
2. High hardness: Vickers hardness of 1250 HV, exhibiting excellent wear resistance.
3. Insulation performance: Resistivity greater than 10⁴ Ω·cm at room temperature, making it an excellent insulator.
4. Low thermal conductivity: Thermal conductivity between 0.23-0.35 W/(m·K), providing significant thermal insulation.
5. Chemical stability: Resistant to strong acids, strong bases, and inorganic/organic salt corrosion.
Product Features
1. High Temperature Resistance: Maintains structural stability without expansion caused by temperature differences at 1000-1200℃.
2. Thermal Insulation: Low thermal conductivity effectively reduces heat loss and improves energy efficiency.
3. Chemical Inertness: Resistant to corrosion from various chemicals, suitable for harsh environments such as strong acids and bases.
4. Electrical Insulation Properties: High resistivity prevents arc damage, suitable for electrical equipment insulation applications.
5. Self-Lubricating Function: Requires no additional lubricating medium in a vacuum environment, solving pollution problems.
6. High Mechanical Strength: Excellent impact resistance and wear resistance, resulting in a long service life.
