An ultra-high temperature structural ceramic material: zirconium diboride ceramics

 Overview of Zirconium Diboride ZrB2 Powder

Zirconium diboride (ZrB2) is a highly covalent refractory ceramic material with a hexagonal crystal structure. It is an ultra-high temperature ceramic (UHTC) with a melting point of 3246°C. Its relatively low density is about 6.09 g/cm3 (due to hafnium impurities, the measured density may be higher) and good high-temperature strength make it a candidate material for high-temperature aerospace applications, such as hypersonic flight or rocket propulsion systems. It is an unusual ceramic with high thermal and electrical conductivity, and has the same characteristics as the same structure of titanium diboride and hafnium diboride.

An ultra-high temperature structural ceramic material: zirconium diboride ceramics

Zirconium boride is a chemical substance and its molecular formula is ZrB2. Nature gray hard crystals. Zirconium boride has three components: zirconium monoboride, zirconium diboride, and zirconium triboride. Only zirconium diboride is stable in a wide temperature range. Industrial production is mainly based on zirconium diboride. Zirconium diboride is a hexagonal crystal, gray crystal or powder, with a relative density of 5.8 and a melting point of 3040°C. High temperature resistance, high strength at room temperature and high temperature. Good thermal shock resistance, low resistance, anti-oxidation at high temperature. The melting point is about 3000°C. With metallic luster, it has metallic properties. The electrical resistance is slightly lower than that of zirconium. It is stable in a wide temperature range after heating. Although it has a high melting point, it can be sintered at a lower temperature.

Application of Zirconium Diboride ZrB2 Powder

Zirconium diboride ceramics are valued and applied in the fields of high-temperature structural ceramic materials, composite materials, refractory materials, electrode materials, and nuclear control materials because of their high melting point and hardness, good electrical and thermal conductivity, and strong neutron control ability. Such as: turbine blades and magnetic fluid power generation electrodes in the aviation industry. In addition, compared with many ceramic materials, it has better electrical conductivity and can be used to produce parts with complex shapes through wire cutting technology.

①Refractory

ZrB2 ceramic is an excellent special refractory material. It can be used as a high-temperature thermocouple protection tube, mold, metallurgical metal crucible, etc. When used as a thermocouple protection tube, it is not very airtight and conductive. Therefore, it must be matched with the alumina inner sleeve for effective temperature measurement. The thermowell of this material can be used continuously for a long time in molten iron and brass melt. ZrB2 ceramics can also be used as an antioxidant for refractory materials.

② Electrode material

Because ZrB2 has a very low resistivity and the conductive mechanism is electronic conduction, it is suitable for electric shock materials and electrode materials, and can be used in the electrodes of metal thermocouples and high-temperature heating elements. In 1994, a researcher developed a sleeve-type thermocouple material paired with ZrB2 and graphite. Experiments have shown that it can work in an oxidizing atmosphere at 1200~1600℃. The value of the thermocouple is relatively large, which can reach about 70mV at 1600℃. , The thermoelectric potential rate is higher. It can play a role in continuous temperature measurement in some special occasions where metal thermocouples and radiation thermometers are not suitable. It is a good thermocouple material.

③Other materials

Because of its extremely high hardness, ZrB2 is a very good wear-resistant material, and has good applications in cutting tools and cutting tools. Because ZrB2 has good corrosion resistance, the anti-corrosion and anti-oxidation film of ZrB2 has been studied in depth abroad.

Lithium nitride is the only stable alkali metal nitride

  Overview of Lithium Nitride  Li3N  Powder Lithium nitride is a metallic nitrogen compound with the molecular formula Li3N. It is the only stable alkali metal nitride. It is a purple or red crystalline solid, with a high melting point and a light green luster in reflected light and ruby color in transmitted light. Exposure to the air over a long period of time will eventually result in lithium carbonate. The chemistry of basic metal nitrides is extremely limited, and only lithium nitride is stable and easily prepared among binary compounds (sodium nitrite and potassium nitrite are prepared only under more extreme conditions). Lithium nitride belongs to the hexagonal crystal system. There are lithium and nitrogen layers composed of lithium and nitrogen atoms in lithium nitride crystal. The lithium atoms are arranged like carbon atoms in a graphite crystal, with nitrogen atoms at the center of a hexagon of lithium atoms. There is a lithium layer between the lithium and ni...

  Overview of Cuprous oxide  Cu2O  Powder Cuprous oxide,   the chemical formula is Cu2O, is monovalent copper oxide, a bright red powder solid, almost insoluble in water, in acidic solution disproportionation into copper and copper elemental, in the wet air gradually oxidized into black copper oxide. Cuprous oxide is mainly used in the manufacture of ship bottom antifouling paint(used to kill lower Marine animals), insecticides, and various copper salts, analytical reagents, red glass, but also used in the preparation of copper plating and copper plating alloy solution. Copper(I)oxide is also known as an inorganic compound of copper oxide with the chemical formula Cu2O. It's essentially covalent. The copper(I)oxide crystallizes in a cubic structure. When heated, hydrogen tends to reduce the disproportionation it undergoes in acidic solutions that produce copper (II) ions and copper. When the copper oxide is gently heated with metal copper, it is converted to cuprous ...

  Overview of Tungsten Disulfide Tungsten disulfide  as a potential battery material is also expected to benefit from more market replenishment. Tungsten disulfide is a layered material with remarkable surface effects, electron mobility, thermochemical stability and high electron density of states. It has been widely used for lithium and sodium storage. For example, nanocomposites as conductive additives or graphene composites as battery cathode materials can exhibit higher specific capacity and discharge efficiency, making up for the deficiencies of single-component WS2 or C as anode materials. The advent of sodium batteries is expected to alleviate the current shortage of lithium resources on the rapid development of the new energy industry, and will further stimulate the application of transition metal dichalcogenides such as tungsten disulfide WS2 in the field of power storage.  Lithium-ion batteries are a key raw material for developing energy devices and realizing t...
