OUR PRODUCTS
Oxygen Ion Conductivity Above
Yttria-stabilized zirconia is an excellent oxygen ion conductor used in oxygen and carbon sensors and offers excellent refractoriness at temperatures up to and above 2000°C
Zirconia (ZrO2) is an extremely refractory material. It possesses excellent chemical inertness and corrosion resistance at temperatures well above the melting point of alumina. McDanel Zirconia is stabilized in the cubic crystal structure to avoid cracking and mechanical weakening during thermal cycling. In addition to its high temperature capability, Zirconia offers low thermal conductivity and is electrically conductive above 800ºC. Also has the unique ability to allow oxygen ions to move freely through the crystal structure above 600ºC.
Standard McDanel Zirconia products include various single bore tubes that are available for purchase online. We also have significant capabilities for producing custom engineered Zirconia products. Give us a call at a location near you, or fill out our Request for Quote form, so one of our experienced engineers can assist you in the material selection and design of your advanced ceramic component.
Grades
Z105 is a fine grained, high density, cubic crystal, yttria (10.5%) fully stabilized Zirconia. It is an excellent general purpose Zirconia.
In addition, we offer our Z28 grade which 100% tested for hydothermal stability.
Typical Uses
Oxygen sensors, thermocouple protection tubes, furnace muffles, liners, crucibles, high temperature heating element support.
