ADVANTAGES OF Zirconium oxide
Zirconium oxide distinguishes itself by a number of useful properties. For example, it is a material with very high mechanical strength, it is a thermal insulator, and it has a similar elasticity modulus to steel. Its fine-grain structure gives it high edge strength and good sliding properties.
Zirconium Oxide Ceramics
Zirconium oxide (ZrO2) exists in different crystal lattice and has to be stabilized with a variety of stabiliser in order to avoid the transformation to monocline crystal lattice and to get dense sintered components
- stabilized yttrium
- very high flexural strength
- highest surface quality
- high mass
- high thermal expansion (similar to steel)
- extreme thermal insulation
- electrically insulating
