What are the uses of multi-layer zirconia disks

Multilayer zirconia disks have a wide range of uses, especially in the dental field and other industrial applications. The following are the main uses of multi-layer zirconia disks:

1. Dental materials:

Used for CAD/CAM milling to make dental crowns. Multi-layer zirconia disks have high bending strength (for example, some products have a bending strength range from a minimum of 700 MPa to a maximum of 1,200 MPa), making them ideal materials for making dental crowns. Its natural color and translucent gradient provide an excellent aesthetic effect, making it ideal for front or back tooth restoration.

2. High temperature ceramic raw materials:

Zirconia has a high melting point, high hardness characteristics, often used as a high temperature tools and parts manufacturing material, multi-layer zirconia disk can be used as a high temperature ceramic raw material, used to manufacture parts that can work in a high temperature environment.

3. Construction ceramics:

Due to the good mechanical properties of zirconia ceramics, multi-layer zirconia disks can also be used to manufacture structural ceramic parts such as ceramic bearings and ceramic valves. These components show excellent wear and corrosion resistance in harsh working environments, thus improving service life.

4. Electrolyte material:

In the field of electrochemistry, multilayer zirconia disks can be used to prepare electrolytes, such as those in high-temperature solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC).

5. Coating additives:

Zirconia can also be used as an anti-corrosion coating additive, with good electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance, and the waste or powder generated during the processing of multi-layer zirconia disks can be reused in this field.

6. Other applications:

In addition to the above applications, multi-layer zirconia disks may also be used in the preparation of transparent ceramics, high temperature lubricants, plastic tougheners and other fields.

In summary, multi-layer zirconia disks have been widely used in many fields because of their excellent physical and chemical properties. Please note that different brands and specifications of multi-layer zirconia disks may have different characteristics and best uses, so the manufacturer or supplier should be consulted in detail before use.
