由于氧化锆陶瓷具有高韧性、高抗弯强度和高耐磨性，优异的隔热性能，热膨胀系数接近于钢等优点，因此被广泛应用于结构陶瓷领域。主要有:Y-TZP磨球、分散和研磨介质、喷嘴、球阀球座、氧化锆模具、微型风扇轴心、光纤插针、光纤套筒、拉丝模和切割工具、耐磨刀具、表壳及表带、高尔夫球的轻型击球棒及其它室温耐磨零器件等。
其耐高温性能作为感应加热管、耐火材料、发热元件使用。氧化锆陶瓷具有敏感的电性能参数，主要应用于氧传感器、固体氧化物燃料电池(SolidO xideFu elCe ll,SO FC)和高温发热体等领域。
Zr02具有较高的折射率(N-21^22)，在超细的氧化锆粉末中添加一定的着色元素(V205, Mo03, Fe203等)，可将它制成多彩的半透明多晶Zr02材料，像天然宝石一样闪烁着绚丽多彩的光芒，可制成各种装饰品。另外，氧化锆在热障涂层、催化剂载体、医疗、保健、耐火材料、纺织等领域正得到广泛应用。（图/文www.cddnvga.cn）
