Conclusions

The method of casting from aqueous suspensions using, calcium zirconate as a stabilizer was used to make zircon parts close in the nature of the green material, fired material and shrinkage during firing to parts made from prestabilized zirconium dioxide.

The operation requires one high-temperature firing and a single grinding for the bulk of the mateial (about 80%).

The addition of a calcium zirconate additive makes it possible to cast from acid dross characterized by greater resistance to particle aggregation and demixing of the suspension, and to obtain stronger and easy to process green material which is less liabl. to deform during firing.

The use of calcium zirconate with a synthesizing temperature of 1200° produces good grindability and almost com- plete stabilization of the zirconium dioxide in the parts.
