Zirconia Refractory Brick
Zirconia brick is a high-grade refractory product made primarily from high-purity fused zirconia as the raw material, with additives, through high-pressure forming and high-temperature sintering. The product offers high-temperature resistance, excellent resistance to acid and alkali corrosion, and superior thermal shock resistance. It is divided into two types: Y2O3-stabilized products and CaO-stabilized products. The service temperature is 2200°C.
2. Product Description
The product is divided into two types: Y₂O₃-stabilized and CaO-stabilized. It is sintered at 1800°C after mixing high-purity raw materials and high-pressure forming. The brick exhibits excellent chemical stability, low volatility, superior thermal shock resistance, and resistance to acid and alkali corrosion. Even when heated to 1900°C, it does not react with molten metals such as aluminum, iron, nickel, and platinum, nor with silicates and acidic slags. It is widely used as lining material in intermediate-frequency high-temperature furnaces, molybdenum wire furnaces, tungsten rod furnaces, carbon black reaction furnaces, and other applications.
The maximum service temperature of zirconia brick reaches 2200°C. It features a high refractoriness-under-load temperature, low creep rate at high temperatures, strong resistance to corrosive melts, and high chemical inertness to glass melts, enabling long-term resistance to erosion. With low thermal conductivity (only 2.09 W/m·K at 1000°C), it reduces thermal stress caused by rapid temperature changes. It also offers high strength and good wear resistance.
