Zirconium Tungstate Powder
Precision Instrumentation
Application: Zirconium tungstate powder low thermal expansion makes it ideal for use in precision instruments where even the smallest changes in dimensions due to temperature fluctuations could compromise the functionality. Its high dimensional stability at varying temperatures ensures that components in instruments like measuring devices, optical components, and lasers maintain accuracy across a wide range of thermal conditions.
Examples:
Laser equipment where thermal expansion can distort beam paths.
Scientific instruments used in laboratories requiring high precision.
- Aerospace and Space Applications
Application: Due to its thermal stability, low thermal expansion, and high melting point, zirconium tungstate is used in aerospace and space exploration technologies. It can withstand extreme temperature fluctuations in high-altitude or space environments.
Examples:
Heat shields for spacecraft, which protect against the intense heat during atmospheric entry.
Satellite components that are exposed to high temperatures and radiation in space.
- Nuclear Reactor Applications
Application: Zirconium tungstate’s high density and radiation resistance make it an excellent material for nuclear reactors. It can serve as a radiation shielding material to protect components from harmful radiation, ensuring the integrity and longevity of equipment in nuclear environments.
Examples:
Nuclear fuel systems, where radiation protection is crucial.
Spent nuclear fuel storage containers, where materials need to resist radiation and thermal stresses.
Shielding materials in nuclear reactors, helping to absorb and attenuate radiation.
Refractory and High-Temperature Applications
Application: Zirconium tungstate’s high melting point (around 2,500°C) and thermal shock resistance make it ideal for use in refractory materials and high-temperature industrial applications. It is used where materials are subjected to extreme temperatures without significant thermal degradation.
