Zirconia Zirconia (zirconium oxide) is an excellent thermal and electrical insulator. Yttria stabilized zirconia undergoes phase transformation toughening, as it can change from a tetragonal phase to a monoclinic phase, which puts a propagating crack tip into compression. Microwave sintering of zirconia has been demonstrated at Ceralink. Alumina couples with microwave energy directly at elevated temperatures (above 600 ºC). 3 mol% yttira- structural ceramics Zirconia can also be stabilized with cerium, calcium and magnesium oxides. Major uses of alumina are in refractories, ceramics, dental, fuel cells, abrasive applications and gem stones. Material: Ceramic |
