Quelles propriétés doivent être prises en compte lors du choix de pièces en céramique à base de zircone ?

---

Céramique de zircone have become a key material in precision manufacturing, medical devices, new energy, electronic semiconductors, and other fields due to their excellent mechanical properties, chemical stability, and biocompatibility. However, the performance requirements for zirconia workpieces vary significantly in different application scenarios, and how to scientifically select them has become a key concern for engineering and technical personnel.

Analysis of Core Performance Indicators

1. Propriétés mécaniques
   -Résistance à la flexion : It is usually required to be ≥ 1000 MPa, and for high reliability applications, it is required to be ≥ 1200 MPa to ensure that the workpiece is not easily broken under high loads.
   -Ténacité à la rupture : The fracture toughness (KIC) of zirconia is generally between 5-10 MPa · m ¹/². High toughness materials can effectively prevent crack propagation and extend service life.
   -Dureté : Vickers hardness can reach 1200-1400 HV, with excellent wear resistance, suitable for high-speed friction environments.
2. Physical and Thermal Properties
   -Densité : The density of fully dense zirconia is about 6.0-6.05 g/cm ³, and insufficient density may lead to performance degradation.
   -Coefficient de dilatation thermique : about 10 × 10 ⁻⁶/K, close to metals, which is conducive to the design of metal ceramic composite structures.
   -Conductivité thermique : Its low thermal conductivity (2-3 W/m · K) makes it outstanding in high-temperature insulation scenarios.
3. Chemical and electrical properties
   -Stabilité chimique : resistant to acid and alkali corrosion, especially stable at high temperatures, suitable for chemical environments.
   -Performance d'isolation : Room temperature resistivity>10 ¹⁰Ω· cm, making it an ideal high-temperature insulation material.
4. Accuracy and surface quality
   -Précision des dimensions : Precision machining can reach ± 0.001 mm, meeting high-precision assembly requirements.
   -Rugosité de la surface : Ra ≤ 0.01 μ m after polishing, reducing friction coefficient and improving sealing performance.

Principales questions à traiter

1. Wear resistance issue: In high-speed rotating sealing scenarios, the service life of zirconia ceramics is more than three times longer than that of metal rings, reducing the frequency of downtime and replacement.
2. Corrosion failure: Zirconia impellers used in chemical pumps show no signs of corrosion after continuous use in acidic media for 12 months, while metal impellers need to be replaced after an average of 3 months.
3. Déformation à haute température : Zirconia fixtures for semiconductor heat treatment equipment are used for a long time at 1000 ° C, with a dimensional change of less than 0.05% to ensure process consistency.
4. Biological rejection reaction: Zirconia dental implants have excellent biocompatibility, and the postoperative infection rate is reduced by 40% compared to traditional materials.
