Zircon, Zirconium, Zirconia - Similar Names, Different Materials

Autor Bożena Arnold
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 22 ian 2022
In this book you will find a lot of exciting and often astonishing information about these extraordinary and diverse materials. The presentation is essentially structured chronologically and follows the history of the discovery of these materials. Their properties and areas of application are described. The book is a mixture of specialist and non-fiction: understandable for experts and laypeople.

This book is a translation of the original German 1st edition Zirkon, Zirkonium, Zirkonia - ähnliche Namen, verschiedene Materialien by Bożena Arnold, published by Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany, part of Springer Nature in 2019. The translation was done with the help of artificial intelligence (machine translation by the service DeepL.com). A subsequent human revision was done primarily in terms of content, so that the book will read stylistically differently from a conventional translation. Springer Nature works continuously to further the development of tools for the production of books and on the related technologies to support the authors.

Textul de pe ultima copertă

In this book, you will find a lot of exciting and often astonishing information about these extraordinary and diverse materials. The presentation is essentially chronological and follows the history of the discovery of these materials. Their properties and areas of application are described along the way. The book represents a mixture of technical and non-fiction book: understandable for experts and laymen.
Three different materials that are often confused because of their similar sounding names.
  • Zircon is an ancient mineral and has great geological significance. It is a genuine gemstone and similar to diamond.
  • Zirconium is the 40th chemical element and as a metal it is characterized by extraordinary properties. For example, it is permeable to thermal neutrons. In addition, there is a group of special zirconium alloys, e.g. zirkalloy.
  • Zirconia is a special modification of zirconium oxide, is only produced artificially and,like zircon, is similar to diamond. Zirconium oxide itself is one of today's most important high-performance ceramics, with a wide range of applications in dentistry or in a lambda probe, among others.
