Zirconia Silicate (ZrSiO4) or Zircon has unique and outstanding properties as a refractory material. It has no definite melting point and dissociation into zirconia and silica begins at 1550°C with little physical change apparent until 1700°C. Its favorably low thermal expansion properties and lack of crystalline inversion give it a higher thermal shock resistance than other ceramic refractory materials. Zircon have severely lower cost compared to alternative refractories. A notable property of Zircon is also the low thermal conductivity making it a material with high insulation value.
Thermansys t-ceramics machinable Zircon after full firing to 1550°C is remarkably hard and wear resistant, can withstand extremely corrosive environments.
