Silica-stabilized zirconia offers a reliable solution for environments containing glassy or siliceous slags within the melt. This material is commonly utilized in the melting of platinum-group alloys, thanks to its robust strength and exceptional resistance to high temperatures. It is particularly suited for challenging "dirty refining" applications where its durability shines. Tubes made from silica-stabilized zirconia are crafted from a superior grade of zircon material compared to standard zirconia tubes, ensuring enhanced performance and longevity.
