Chemical Formula: ZrSi₂
Molecular weight: 147.39 g/mol
Appearance: Gray
Crystal structure: Tetragonal crystal structure.
Density: 4.88 g/cm³.
Melting point: 1520°C – 1550°C.
Stability: Zirconium silicide powder is chemically stable at room temperature and does not easily react with common acids, alkalis and other substances.
Antioxidant: It has antioxidant property to a certain extent, and the oxide film formed on the surface can prevent its further oxidation to a certain extent
Ceramic Materials: Zirconium silicide has high hardness, high melting point, good wear resistance, and thermal stability. It is used as an additive or reinforcing phase in ceramics to improve mechanical and high-temperature properties, and is widely used in cutting tools, high-temperature furnaces, and ceramic engine parts.
Electronic Materials: Due to its electrical conductivity and good thermal conductivity, zirconium silicide powder can be used in electronic packaging and integrated circuit interconnection materials to improve heat dissipation and reliability.
Coating Materials: Zirconium silicide coatings have excellent high-temperature, oxidation, and corrosion resistance. They are used for protecting metal surfaces such as aircraft engine blades and gas turbine blades, extending service life in harsh environments.
Energy Field: Zirconium silicide also shows potential in new energy materials, such as lithium-ion battery electrode research, where it may help improve battery performance and safety.
Zirconium silicide powder is usually packed in sealed plastic bags, aluminum foil bags, or vacuum packaging, and then placed in cartons or drums to prevent moisture absorption, oxidation, and contamination during transportation and handling.
Zirconium silicide powder should be stored in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated environment away from moisture, heat sources, and strong oxidizing agents. The container should remain tightly sealed to maintain product stability and prevent oxidation.
Q1: What is zirconium silicide used for?
A: Zirconium silicide is mainly used in ceramic materials, electronic materials, protective coatings, and energy-related applications. It helps improve hardness, wear resistance, thermal stability, and electrical conductivity, making it suitable for cutting tools, high-temperature components, electronic packaging, and advanced coating materials.
Q2: Is zirconium silicide harmful to the body?
A: Zirconium silicide is generally stable under normal conditions, but fine powder may cause irritation to the skin, eyes, and respiratory system if inhaled or exposed for long periods. Proper protective equipment, such as gloves, goggles, and masks, should be used during handling.
Q3: What is the meaning of zirconium silicide?
A: Zirconium silicide is a chemical compound made of zirconium and silicon. It is known for its high hardness, high melting point, excellent thermal stability, and good electrical conductivity, and is widely used in advanced industrial and engineering applications.
VI HALBLEITERMATERIAL GmbH (VIMATERIAL) employs a stringent quality assurance system to ensure the reliability of our product quality. Strict quality control is implemented throughout the entire production chain, and for defective products, we strictly enforce the principle of rework and redo. Each batch is released only after passing detailed specification tests.
Every batch of our materials is independently tested, and, if necessary, we send samples to certified companies for testing. We provide these documents and analysis certificates with the shipment to certify that our products meet the required standards.
