Application of Quartz in High-end Fields

1. Introduction

Quartz is a mineral resource with stable physical and chemical properties. It plays a vital role in fields of modern aerospace and military. Due to its unique physical and chemical properties, quartz has become an indispensable strategic material in high-end fields of aerospace and military. Application of quartz in high-end fields

2. Application of quartz in high-end fields

2.1. Fields of aviation and aerospace 

In aviation field, quartz fiber can be combined with prepreg to produce reinforced composite material with excellent performance. This material can be used to manufacture various spacecraft components. Quartz fiber, especially quartz glass fiber, is also one of the key materials in aerospace field. It has properties of high temperature resistance, ablation resistance, high wave transmittance and excellent electrical insulation. These properties make it an ideal choice for manufacturing key structure of aircraft, such as tail wing, strut, nozzle and exhaust pipe.

Quartz glass is widely used in the manufacture of satellites and spacecraft, especially in terms of space window material, quartz glass can meet the requirements of UV filtering and radiation resistance, and it can effectively avoid the formation of “color center” under high-energy rays.

2.2. Military field

Due to excellent performance of wave transmission, quartz fiber plays an important role in the manufacture of aircraft radome for missile and military. Radome needs to have excellent performance of wave transmission, to ensure accurate transmission of radar signals, and quartz fiber is the preferred material to meet this requirement.

3. Conclusion

Quartz has become one type of mineral needed by strategic emerging industries. The government has issued a series of policy documents to encourage and support the development and application of high-purity quartz . This not only provides policy guarantee for the development of quartz industry, but also injects new impetus into technological innovation and industrial upgrading of aerospace and military fields.

In actual application of quartz in high-end fields, there are strict requirements on purity and fineness of quartz. So, the grinding and classification of quartz is a key step to ensure that it can meet these requirements. The ball mill and air classifier produced by Qingdao Epic Powder Machinery Co., Ltd. are suitable for the grinding and classification of quartz.
