Information Profile @ a glance
- Cubic zirconia is the oxide of the metallic element zirconium - ZrO2
- Zirconium dioxide, known as baddeleyite, is found as a naturally
occurring mineral, but with a different, monoclinic, crystalline structure.
To induce it to crystallise in the cubic system, it is "doped" with small
additions of other minerals, mainly yttrium or calcium
- Since the melting point of ZrO2 is very high (2750°C) laboratory growth
of single crystals of cubic zirconia is carried out by a growth technique
called skull melting
- Cubic zirconia have a sparkle and
lustre quite close to that of diamond. The only drawback is their rather low
hardness. Coloured varieties of cubic zirconia can be produced by transition
metal oxide additions to the initial charge.
- A Range of high performance monoclinic zirconias are manufactured
utilizing the plasma arc reactor process.
- Cubic zirconia (c-ZrO2) is an industrially attractive material that has
a wide range of applications. It is used in automotive sensors and solid
electrolyte fuel cells because of its high-temperature ionic conductivity.
Besides, cubic zirconia is known
to be widely utilized in jewelry as a remarkable substitute of natural
diamonds.
- Depending on the purity and density zirconia is used for refractory
tubes, industrial crucibles, analytical lab ware, sensors, wear components,
refractory cements, thermocouple protection tubes, furnace muffles, liners
and high temperature heating element supports
