This zirconia ceramic plate is a dense, insulating technical ceramic with thermal and electrical limits specified by the manufacturer. Its application is constrained by the maximum service temperature, thermal-shock tolerance, and dielectric breakdown rating.
- Maximum service temperature: Do not expose this plate to sustained temperatures above 1600°C, the manufacturer-stated maximum service temperature for the sintered zirconia body.
- Thermal shock gradient limit: Limit thermal gradients to 350°C or less to prevent fracture from thermal shock.
- Dielectric stress limit: Keep applied voltage stress below the rated dielectric breakdown strength to preserve the plate's insulating function.
How does the thermal shock resistance of 350°C affect the use of this 0.5 mm thick zirconia plate in rapid thermal cycling applications?
The plate has a thermal shock resistance of 350°C, meaning it can withstand sudden temperature changes up to that delta without cracking. The low thermal expansion coefficient (10×10⁻⁶/°C) and high flexural strength (>11000) help maintain integrity during cycling, but the thin 0.5 mm thickness may require controlled heating/cooling rates to avoid localized stress.
Can this zirconia ceramic plate be used in high-vacuum environments requiring electrical insulation?
Yes, with volume resistivity >1×10¹⁰ Ω·cm and zero water absorption, the plate is suitable for high-vacuum applications. The maximum service temperature of 1600°C and corrosion resistance from ≥94% ZrO₂ content further support use in demanding vacuum or inert atmospheres.
What precautions are necessary when handling the 0.5 mm thick zirconia plate to prevent mechanical failure?
Despite high hardness (1400 HV) and compressive strength (25,000 kgf/cm²), the thin 0.5 mm cross-section makes the plate susceptible to flexural fracture if unevenly loaded. Use clean gloves, support the plate evenly during handling, and avoid thermal shocks exceeding 350°C to prevent cracking.
The AF-ZR-50X50B050 zirconia ceramic plate offers a 94% ZrO2 composition, 1600°C maximum service temperature, and electrical volume resistivity above 1×10¹² Ω·cm, making it suitable for high-temperature insulation and mechanical support applications in laboratory furnace or thin-film processing setups. However, its thermal shock resistance is limited to 350°C, requiring controlled heating/cooling ramps to avoid fracture.
Positive
- High-temperature and electrical insulation: With a maximum service temperature of 1600°C and volume resistivity above 1×10¹² Ω·cm, this plate provides reliable thermal stability and electrical isolation for demanding ceramic use.
- Wear and corrosion resistance: Hardness of 1400 HV and zero water absorption, combined with self-lubricating properties, deliver dimensional retention and chemical resistance in harsh laboratory environments.
Trade-offs
- Limited thermal shock tolerance: Thermal shock resistance is rated at 350°C, so rapid temperature changes during heating or cooling must be avoided to prevent cracking.
- Brittle under mechanical shock: As a ceramic material with high hardness but low toughness, the plate is susceptible to chipping or fracture from impact or uneven loading during handling.
