Zirconium silicide Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

Gray solid. Soluble in hydrogen fluoride; insoluble in water and aqua regia.

Uses

Zirconium silicide (Zr3Si2) has been identified as promising material for the neutron reflector in a gas cooled reactor.

Uses

Zirconium silicate is used for manufacturing refractory materials. It is also used in production of some ceramics, enamels, and ceramic glazes. In enamels and glazes it serves as an opacifier. zirconium silicate is as beads for milling and grinding.

Uses

Coatings resistant to flame or blast impingement, special alloys.

Flammability and Explosibility
