Zirconia (ZrO₂) ceramics are increasingly favored as thermal insulation plates due to their superior thermal barrier properties, high mechanical strength, and excellent stability at elevated temperatures. Their intrinsic low thermal conductivity significantly limits heat transfer, making zirconia insulation plates a reliable solution for industrial systems requiring effective thermal management.
Key Features and Benefits:
High-Speed Performance
Zirconia ceramics combine strong resistance to cold, low elastic modulus, high compressive strength, low thermal conductivity, lightweight, and a low friction coefficient. These characteristics make them suitable for high-speed spindles operating between 12,000 and 75,000 rpm, as well as other high-precision machinery.
Exceptional Temperature Resistance
These insulation plates retain stable performance with minimal thermal expansion across the 500–600 °C range, ensuring reliability in applications subject to rapid or frequent temperature fluctuations.
Corrosion Resistance
Owing to their excellent chemical stability, zirconia ceramics resist attack from strong acids, alkalis, inorganic and organic salts, and seawater. This makes them ideal for use in electroplating equipment, chemical machinery, electronic devices, shipbuilding, and medical equipment.
Non-Magnetic Properties
Zirconia insulation plates are inherently non-magnetic, reducing dust attraction, premature wear, shaft spalling, and operational noise. They are well-suited for precision instruments, demagnetization equipment, and other applications requiring non-magnetic components.
Electrical Insulation
With high electrical resistivity, zirconia ceramics help prevent arc-related damage and ensure reliable performance in electrical equipment demanding stable insulation.
Vacuum Compatibility
Their self-lubricating, oil-free nature overcomes the limitations of conventional ceramic plates in vacuum conditions, making them ideal for vacuum systems and related applications.
Additionally, zirconia ceramic insulation plates offer excellent impact and wear resistance, providing long service life and durability.
