The invention provides a zirconia metering
nozzle preparing method adding
zirconium sol in two steps. The method includes steps of material mixing, compression moulding,
drying,
sintering, and vacuum soaking. The
mixed materials comprise 20-50% by weight of partially-stable zirconia, 10-30% by weight of monoclinic zirconia, 30-40% by weight of monoclinic
silicon-removed
zirconium, 1-3% by weight of a stabilizing agent, and 3-5% by weight of a binding agent that including zirconia
sol. In the subsequent vacuum soaking step, a sintered product is added into the zirconia
sol and subjected to vacuumizing and soaking. According to the method, nanometer zirconia is introduced by a manner of adding the
zirconium sol in two steps. The nanometer zirconia decomposed by utilization of the zirconium sol has functions of resisting high temperature, stress-induced transformation
toughening and microcrack
toughening, thus enhancing the washing resistance,
corrosion resistance and
thermal shock resistance of the zirconia metering
nozzle, prolonging the service lifetime of the metering
nozzle, and increasing the working efficiency of a
continuous casting machine.
