As early as in 1789, Klaproth extracted out of the zirconia from the gem, but it didn’t used as gas shade in industrial until the 1940s.since then, it was successively used in refractory, coloring and abrasive. Over the past decade, the development of new products with good toughness and versatility, which increase the number of applications of ceramics, are involved in the field is also expanding.
Zirconia is a high temperature-resistant, corrosion-resistant, wear-resistant and has excellent conductive properties of inorganic non-metallic materials, and it is used in the field of refractory in the early 1920s, until the mid-1970s, the international advanced countries Europe and Japan in the race to put into zirconia production technology and zirconia series products with funded research and development, further applications of zirconia extended to the field of structural materials and functional materials, zirconia national industrial policy to encourage focus on the development of new high-performance one of the materials currently used in various industries, including aerospace industry, mechanical engineering, communications, automotive and so on.
However, the most popular use is in the zirconia ceramic jewelry, zirconia ceramic jewelry mainly has the following types: (1) inlayed with zirconia silver jewelry, gold jewelry, platinum jewelry received the jewelry brand in Europe and America all ages. (2) pure zirconia material jewelry, is quietly rising in a class of products at decorative ceramic market, the world's largest ceramic manufacturer Wengyuan Shenli hardware processing factory, ShenLi in researching, developing, sales of such products process to walk in the forefront of the industry, also gave the government of the industry attaches great importance to research and development of nearly 3,000 kinds of ceramic accessories products, including a variety of new models also include a variety of bright color, and these products have a good market in areas such as Europe, America, Japan and Hong Kong, China, in particular, favored by the European market. (3) Both wear jewelry application functions, typical ceramic watch case, bezel and strap products, ceramic styles are internationally renowned brands Chanel / Chanel, RADO / radar watch, but the price is not Philippine. The zirconia has: environmental protection, natural, healthy, has good scratch resistance and drop resistance, never worn, never fade, and a general fall without any problems.
In addition, zirconia ceramic is more widely used in ceramic glasses accessories, ceramics mobile phone accessories, ceramic computer keyboard accessories, ceramic buttons, ceramic and leather accessories, ceramic zipper accessories, and so on.
