Application

Zirconium dioxide serves an array of industrial and technological purposes due to its remarkable properties. This white, amorphous powder is widely recognized for its use as a refractory material, essential in the production of highly reflective glazes for ceramics and glass, as well as linings for metallurgical furnaces, crucibles, and laboratory instruments. Its high melting point and low thermal conductivity make it ideal for producing oxyhydrogen and incandescent lights, while its ability to maintain stability in various atmospheres allows for significant use in piezoelectric crystals, heat-resistant fibers, and high-frequency induction coils. Additionally, stabilized forms of zirconium dioxide, such as yttria- and magnesia-stabilized zirconia, are integral in constructing equipment and vessels that handle liquid metals, owing to their resilience and resistance to chemical reactions. In the nuclear sector, high-purity monoclinic zirconium dioxide is utilized in fuel elements and reactor components. An intriguing characteristic of zirconium dioxide is its transition from a low-temperature electrical insulator to a conductor as temperature increases, broadening its application scope in advanced technology fields.
