Zirconia Ceramic Plate 100×100×8 mm, 94% ZrO2 ATOMFAIR®

The plate is sintered at 1650 °C and exhibits a thermal shock resistance of 350 °C, requiring controlled heating and cooling rates to prevent fracture. Its volume resistivity exceeds 1 × 10^14 Ω·cm, necessitating clean handling to avoid surface contamination that could degrade electrical insulation.

• Thermal Management: Apply gradual temperature ramps below 350 °C differential to avoid thermal shock-induced cracking.
• Surface Integrity: Handle with clean, non-abrasive tools to preserve the low water absorption and dielectric breakdown strength of 15 kV/mm.

Inspect the plate for visible cracks or chips before use, as the sintered ceramic is brittle under point loading. Secure the plate in a fixture using compliant pads to distribute clamping force evenly and prevent stress concentration.

Required Equipment: Clean nitrile gloves, Non-marring padded fixture

1. Inspect the plate
   Inspect the plate under good lighting for any chips, cracks, or surface defects before handling.
2. Clean the surface
   Wipe the plate with isopropyl alcohol and a lint-free cloth to remove any particulate contamination.
3. Position in fixture
   Place the plate onto a padded fixture, ensuring even support across the entire 100 mm x 100 mm area.
4. Secure the plate
   Tighten fixture clamps gradually to a low torque to avoid point-load stress on the ceramic.
5. Verify alignment
   Confirm the plate is seated flat and level within the fixture before applying any thermal or mechanical load.

This 100 mm x 100 mm x 8 mm zirconia ceramic plate (AF-ZR-100X100W008) offers ≥94% ZrO2 content with 1600 °C service temperature, 1400 HV hardness, and >1×10¹³ Ω·cm volume resistivity, making it suitable for high-temperature electrical insulation and wear-resistant applications. The 3 W/(m·K) thermal conductivity and 350 °C thermal shock resistance define its thermal management profile.

Positive

• High electrical resistivity and thermal stability: Volume resistivity exceeding 1 × 10¹³ Ω·cm and maximum service temperature of 1600 °C enable reliable insulation and dimensional retention under extreme thermal conditions.
• High hardness and compressive strength: 1400 HV hardness and 25,000 kgf/cm² compressive strength provide excellent wear and deformation resistance for demanding structural ceramic applications.

Trade-offs

• Thermal shock sensitivity at 350 °C delta: With a thermal shock resistance of only 350 °C, the plate may crack under rapid temperature excursions exceeding this delta, requiring controlled heating and cooling rates.
• Brittle fracture risk under tensile load: As a high-hardness ceramic, the plate has limited tensile ductility; point loading or edge impacts can cause catastrophic fracture without visible warning signs.
