Description of Silica Stabilised Zirconia Tube
Silica stabilised zirconia is used when glassy or silica‐containing slags appear in your melt. It is frequently employed for melting plating group alloys. Given that it retains its structural integrity under high temperatures, it meets the requirements of specific dirty refining processes. Silica stabilised zirconia tubes are manufactured from a higher grade zirconia material than that used in standard zirconia tubes. They provide measurable performance and an extended operational lifespan.

Applications for Silica Stabilised Zirconia Tubes
Silica stabilised zirconia tubes have a high density, measurable bending strength and fracture toughness. They are used in shafts, pistons, sealing structures, automotive components, oil drilling equipment and insulating parts in electrical devices. In addition, these tubes serve as components for ceramic knives and as replacement parts for ceramic hair cutting machines.
Packaging for Silica Stabilised Zirconia Tubes
The Silica Stabilised Zirconia Tube is handled with care to minimise damage during storage and transport, thereby ensuring that product quality is maintained in its original condition.
