Q & A

Zirconia has significant importance in high-temperature refractories due to its exceptional thermal stability and resistance to corrosion. It exhibits high melting points and low thermal expansion, making it a suitable material for applications in extreme heat environments. Additionally, zirconia possesses excellent mechanical strength and hardness, which contributes to its durability and ability to withstand high temperatures. Its chemical and physical properties make zirconia a crucial component in the development of refractories used in industries such as metallurgy, ceramics, and glass manufacturing.

Yttria stabilizes the structure of refractory materials by forming a solid solution with the host material, which helps to inhibit grain growth and enhance the material's resistance to thermal stress and high temperatures. Additionally, the incorporation of yttria into the lattice structure can improve mechanical properties and prevent phase transformations, thus providing stability and durability to refractory materials.

The raw materials used in the production of zirconia refractories typically include zirconium oxide (ZrO2), stabilizers such as calcium oxide (CaO) or magnesium oxide (MgO), and other additives like silica (SiO2) or alumina (Al2O3).

The addition of andalusite generally decreases the thermal conductivity of refractories.
