Zirconia Toughened Alumina
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Zirconia toughened alumina is a ceramic material comprising alumina and zirconia. It is an intermediate solution between (pure) alumina and zirconia.
It is also known in industry as AMZ.
Zirconia aluminia (or zirconia toughened alumina), a combination of zirconium oxide and aluminum oxide, is part of a class of composite ceramics called AZ composites. Noted for their mechanical properties, AZ composites are commonly used in structural applications, as cutting tools, and in many medical applications. Additionally, AZ composites feature high strength, fracture toughness, elasticity, hardness, and wear resistance. Zirconia toughened alumina (ZTA), in particular, offers several key properties. [1]
