Zirconia Ceramic – The Highest-Performance Material Among Oxide Ceramics

Zirconium oxide ceramic is the most powerful material among the oxide ceramics. It has excellent impact strength, high abrasion and corrosion resistance and low thermal conductivity.

High-performance ceramics such as zirconium oxide ceramics have been used in a wide variety of areas for many years. Consistent and permanent optimizations ensure that the material always meets current requirements.

Disadvantages, such as brittle properties, are also being eliminated on an ongoing basis. In high-performance ceramics, the high-tech material zirconium oxide ceramics has set completely new standards and priorities. The enormous fracture toughness and the high flexural strength are particularly noteworthy.

This means that the designer has a material at his or her disposal that allows the positive properties to come into their own even with filigree constructions. In addition, the ceramic has a very good feel and convinces with excellent biocompatibility as well as high corrosion resistance and durability. Designers also appreciate the aesthetic appearance.
