Zirconia Toughened Alumina for Advanced Applications ZTA is an alumina-zirconia composite material, distinguished by superior strength and toughness. Produced through stress-induced transformation of fine tetragonal zirconia particles in an alumina matrix. Zirconia ceramics are remarkable technical materials, boasting excellent hardness, thermal stability, wear resistance and operating environments where many other ceramics cannot perform. Metals and…

zirconia toughened alumina has proven its superior mechanical properties compared to monolithic zirconia, including fracture toughness and flexural strength. ZTA’s stability stems from its matrix phase which protects and restricts the transformation of tetragonal zirconia grains, helping it withstand degradation under in-vivo hydrothermal conditions. Flexural Strength By adding zirconia to alumina ceramics, zirconia toughened alumina is…
