The plate exhibits high hardness and compressive strength but is susceptible to thermal shock above 350 °C. Sintering at 1650 °C and low water absorption require controlled atmosphere processing to prevent contamination.
- Thermal Shock Sensitivity: Avoid rapid temperature changes exceeding 350 °C to prevent cracking due to thermal shock.
- Sintering Requirement: Process the plate at a sintering temperature of 1650 °C to achieve full densification and specified mechanical properties.
- Contamination Control: Maintain a clean environment during handling to preserve the low water absorption and electrical insulation characteristics.
The plate requires careful thermal management and contamination-free handling to maintain structural integrity. Follow these steps for safe deployment in high-temperature or insulating applications.
Required Equipment: Furnace capable of reaching 1650 °C, Cleanroom or glovebox, Thermocouple or temperature controller
- Inspect the plate
Verify the plate dimensions and surface finish for any cracks or defects before processing. - Clean the plate surface
Wipe the plate with a lint-free cloth and isopropyl alcohol to remove any particulate contamination. - Place in furnace
Set the plate on a clean alumina or zirconia setter tray inside the furnace. - Control heating ramp
Heat the furnace at a rate not exceeding 5 °C per minute to avoid thermal shock. - Sinter at specified temperature
Hold the furnace at 1650 °C for the recommended dwell time to achieve full densification. - Cool gradually
Cool the furnace at a controlled rate below 5 °C per minute until the temperature drops below 350 °C. - Remove and store
Transfer the cooled plate to a dry, sealed container to maintain low water absorption and electrical insulation.
How does the ZrO2 content of at least 94% influence the mechanical and thermal properties of this zirconia ceramic plate?
The ZrO2 content of at least 94% provides high hardness (1400 HV), compressive strength (25,000 kgf/cm²), and a maximum service temperature of 1600°C, while maintaining zero water absorption and a thermal conductivity of 3 W/(m·K). This composition ensures dimensional stability, electrical insulation, and resistance to thermal shock (350°C) for demanding ceramic applications.
What are the dielectric properties of this zirconia plate and how do they support electrical insulation applications?
The plate exhibits a volume resistivity greater than 1×10^12 Ω·cm, a dielectric breakdown strength of 15 KT/m, and a dielectric constant of 12.5 at 1 MHz. These properties make it suitable for high-voltage insulation and high-frequency electronic substrates where low leakage current and stable permittivity are required.
Why is the sintering temperature (1650°C) higher than the maximum service temperature (1600°C), and what does this imply for operational use?
The sintering temperature of 1650°C is necessary to achieve full densification and optimal mechanical strength, while the maximum service temperature of 1600°C ensures long-term structural integrity without degradation. This margin accounts for thermal gradients during operation and allows safe use in high-temperature furnaces up to 1600°C, provided gradual heating and cooling are applied to avoid thermal shock.
The AF-MA-C-ZRCT-S010-B050 Zirconia Ceramic Plate (10 mm x 10 mm x 0.5 mm, black, pack of 10) is a dense, high-purity (ZrO2 ≥94%) ceramic substrate offering electrical insulation, corrosion resistance, and thermal stability up to 1600°C, suitable for demanding laboratory instrumentation or high-temperature fixturing.
Positive
- High hardness and compressive strength: With a hardness of 1400 HV and compressive strength of 25,000 kgf/cm², the plate maintains dimensional integrity under mechanical load in high-pressure or abrasive environments.
- Exceptional thermal and electrical insulation: A maximum service temperature of 1600°C, low thermal conductivity of 3 W/(m·K), and volume resistivity above 1×10¹⁰ Ω·cm enable use as a dielectric barrier or thermal insulator in furnace fixtures and electrical test stands.
Trade-offs
- Limited thermal shock resistance: With a thermal shock resistance of only 350°C, the plate is vulnerable to cracking under rapid temperature cycling, requiring controlled heating and cooling rates to avoid fracture.
- Brittleness in thin cross-section: At 0.5 mm thickness, the high hardness and low toughness typical of zirconia ceramics increase the risk of chipping or fracture during handling or clamping, necessitating careful mechanical mounting.
