Test Highly Polished Zirconia (ZrO2) Sheets

Product Description

Highly polished Zirconia (ZrO₂) sheets are advanced ceramic materials widely used in high-performance applications due to their exceptional hardness, wear resistance, chemical stability, and high-temperature resistance. These properties make zirconia an ideal choice for industries ranging from medical and aerospace to electronics and chemical processing.

Manufacturing Techniques: Polished Zirconia (ZrO₂) Sheets

• Sintering: Zirconia powders are sintered—often stabilized with yttria (Y₂O₃)—to enhance toughness through transformation toughening. This process ensures high structural integrity and performance under stress.
• Polishing: Precision techniques, including laser and mechanical polishing, are employed to achieve ultra-smooth surfaces necessary for optical, medical, and high-tech industrial applications.

Key Properties

• High fracture toughness due to the transformation toughening mechanism
• Excellent wear and corrosion resistance
• Superior thermal insulation with low thermal conductivity
• Outstanding chemical inertness
• Biocompatible, making it suitable for medical and dental applications

1. The first step includes a highly efficient 2-Stage combustion and oxidation process, whereby preliminary oxidation happens in a primary combustion tube, followed by digestion in the secondary combustion tube in presence of Pt catalyst and copper oxide.
2. This is followed by a 3-Stage Dewatering process, which effectively removes water for precise analysis using an electronic condenser and drying tubes.
3. Thereafter, nitrogen oxide is reduced to Nitrogen gas by the help of some effective reducing agents, which absorb the excess oxygen.
4. Finally, the High-Precision Thermal Conductivity Detector (TCD) accurately measures the nitrogen that was produced in the reduction stage.
