Machined Zirconia Ceramic

Zirconia zro2 custom machined parts zirconium dioxide commonly known as zirconia is a high performance ceramic material which exhibits excellent mechanical properties such as high hardness and fracture toughness.

Machined zirconia ceramic.

Zirconia is one of the most studied ceramic materials. This makes zirconia ideal for a variety of wear resistance applications. We are experienced in machining aluminum oxide silicon nitride silicon carbide stabilized zirconia aluminum nitride iron oxide quartz sapphire ruby ceramic composites and other high tech ceramic materials. Zirconia begins its life following a thermal treatment process calcining of the zirconium dioxide.

Zirconia is a very strong technical ceramic with excellent properties in hardness fracture toughness and corrosion resistance. Zirconium dioxide in its most naturally occurring form is the mineral baddeleyite. It also has excellent thermal insulation and low thermal conductivity. Zirconia ceramic also known as zirconium dioxide zro2 ceramic is a new type of high tech ceramics it has the highest toughness and strength at room temperature of all the advanced ceramic materials.

It exhibits the highest mechanical strength and toughness at room temperature. Zirconia ceramics have a martensite type transformation mechanism of stress induction giving the ability to absorb great amounts of stress relative to other ceramic materials.
