Data are provided for preparation of fuzed stabilized zirconium dioxide melted in an ÉDP-600M electric arc furnace. Fuzed lump and granular material is obtained, whose structure is the cubic modification of zirconium dioxide crystals. The possibility is discussed of preparing stabilized zirconium dioxide by electric-arc melting of a zircon charge.
