Zirconia Crucible

Zirconia (ZrO2) crucibles are excellent refractory and insulating containers. They melt cleanly at temperatures above 1900°C and are specifically designed for melting superalloys and precious metals. They also have excellent chemical inertness, excellent thermal shock resistance up to 2200°C, and good corrosion resistance to acids and bases.

Zirconia Crucible Specification

Other sizes may also be available based on customers’ requests.

Various non-standard special-shaped zirconia crucibles can be customized according to user needs.

Advantage of Zirconia

-High hardness, high toughness, high bending strength, the density of zirconia ceramics is between 5.95-6.05g/cm³, and zirconia has the highest toughness, above 8MPa•m1/2.

-High wear resistance, low friction coefficient, wear resistance is 15 times that of alumina ceramics, and the friction coefficient is only 1/2 of alumina ceramics. After grinding, the surface finish is higher, mirror-like, extremely smooth, and the friction coefficient is smaller.

-Good insulation, strong corrosion resistance, no static electricity, high-temperature resistance, Low thermal conductivity, excellent thermal insulation performance, and thermal expansion coefficient close to steel.

-Zirconium oxide ceramics have self-lubricating properties, which can solve the pollution and inconvenience of adding lubricating media.

-Chemically inert

-Resistant to molten metals

Application of zirconia crucible

Zirconia refractory and zirconia ceramic crucibles are widely used in metallurgy, electronics, aerospace, and other fields.

Zirconia crucibles have very good resistance to chemical attack and thermal shock. Zirconia crucibles are ideal for melting gold, glass, metalworking/melting glass, rapid thermal cycles, gemstone purification for the jewelry industry, etc.

-Chemical calcining

-Metal casting

-Metal melting, especially in the superalloy and precious metal industries

-Thermal analysis crucibles
