Silica Stabilized Zirconia Tube Description
Silica stabilized zirconia is the solution when glassy or siliceous slags are present in your melt. Silica stabilized zirconia is often used for melting platinum-group alloys. Their strength and resistance to high temperatures make them right for those special “dirty refining” applications. Silica Stabilized Zirconia Tubes are made from a higher quality zircon material than standard zirconia tubes, providing superior performance and extended life.
