What is Zirconium Silicide?
As a zirconium-silicon intermetallic compound, zirconium silicide is a high-temperature ceramic material with high hardness, high melting point, high electrical conductivity, high thermal conductivity, and excellent thermal shock resistance. Physical and chemical properties, it is a structural material or a new type of engineering material that can be applied to high-temperature corrosive media.
The main features of Zirconium Silicide
Zirconium silicide is a steel gray orthorhombic shiny crystal with a relative density of 4.8822. Zirconium silicide is insoluble in water, mineral acid and aqua regia, but soluble in hydrofluoric acid.

The applications of Zirconium Silicide
Used as fine ceramic raw material powder for the production of crucibles for semiconductor thin film production.
The production of Zirconium Siliciede
A method for preparing zirconium silicide nanomaterials, comprising the following steps: (1) adding 5mmol of zirconium dioxide, 5mmol of silicon powder and 50mmol of metallic lithium into a 20-milliliter stainless steel autoclave and sealing, and then placing the autoclave into a In the electric furnace that heats up, the heating rate of the electric furnace is set to be 10 °C per minute, the electric furnace is heated to 600 °C, the reaction is maintained for 40 hours after the temperature rise is completed, and the reaction is naturally cooled to room temperature.
(2) The reaction product was first washed once with distilled water, and then washed once with dilute hydrochloric acid and dehydrated ethanol, respectively, and the washed product was filtered, and then dried in a vacuum drying box at 60 ° C for 4 hours to obtain zirconium silicide nanometers According to the quality of the prepared zirconium silicide nanomaterials and the quality of the used raw material zirconium dioxide, the yield of zirconium silicide is 85%.
