Product description
Properties of Wear Rod Alumina Zirconia Industrial Ceramic Rod
(1). Excellent in electrical insulation;
(2). High hardness and wear/corrosion resistance;
(3). High working temperature;
(4). Good thermal shock resistance;
Zirconia Ceramic is an extremely refractory material. It offers chemical and corrosion inertness to temperatures well above the melting point of alumina. The material has low thermal conductivity. It is electrically conductive above 600° C and is used in oxygen sensor cells and as the susceptor (heater) in high temperature induction furnaces. With the attachment of platinum leads, nernst glowers used in spectrometers can be made as a light emitting filament which operates in air.
