Zirconia ceramic is a special ceramic material that has emerged in recent years. It has phase change toughening and micro-crack toughening, so it has high strength and toughness and is known as "ceramic steel". Zirconia in allIt has the highest fracture toughness among industrial ceramics.
The excellent room temperature mechanical properties of zirconia ceramics were used to optimize the zirconia formula and process, and a zirconia ceramic with fine-grained structure, high hardness, high strength and high toughness was obtained. High hardness, high strength and high toughness ensure that zirconia ceramics have incomparable wear resistance than other traditional structural ceramics. Fine-grained zirconia ceramics can achieve very low surface roughness (<0.1um) through processing. Therefore, the friction coefficient of the ceramic surface is reduced, thereby reducing friction and improving product quality.
The elastic modulus and thermal expansion coefficient of zirconia ceramics are similar to those of steel, so they can be organically combined with steel parts to form composite workpieces without causing damage or explosion due to inconsistent thermal expansion. Zirconia ceramic is aNew high-tech precision ceramics, which has the following advantages compared with traditional alumina ceramics :
1. High strength, high fracture toughness and high hardness
2. Excellent wear resistance
3. The elastic modulus and thermal expansion coefficient are similar to those of metal
