It is a composite ceramic material with zirconia grains in the alumina matrix. It is also known in industry as ZTA. 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 ...
Cubic zirconia (abbreviated CZ) is the cubic crystalline form of zirconium dioxide (ZrO 2). The synthesized material is hard and usually colorless, but may be made in a variety of different colors. It should not be confused with zircon, which is a zirconium silicate (ZrSiO 4). It is sometimes erroneously called cubic zirconium.
Coors Porcelain was renamed Coors Ceramics Company in 1986, shortly after Joseph Coors Jr. (1942–2016), [38], [39] succeeded R. Derald Whiting (1923–1995) as president. [40] At the time, porcelain was a small part of the 12-plant, 2200-employee company's output. High-alumina ceramics were and remain the company's primary products.
Yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) is a ceramic in which the cubic crystal structure of zirconium dioxide is made stable at room temperature by an addition of yttrium oxide. These oxides are commonly called "zirconia" ( Zr O 2 ) and "yttria" ( Y 2 O 3 ), hence the name.
[11] [12] [13] Zirconia stabilized with yttria (yttrium oxide), known as yttria-stabilized zirconia, can be used as a strong base material in some full ceramic crown restorations. [12] [14] Transformation-toughened zirconia is used to make ceramic knives. [15] Because of the hardness, ceramic-edged cutlery stays sharp longer than steel edged ...
Yttria blends of approximately 3% are called either tetragonal polycrystalline zirconia or tetragonal zirconia polycrystal (forming the initialisms TZP or TPZ) and have the finest grain size. These grades exhibit the highest toughness at room temperature, because they are nearly 100% tetragonal, but this degrades severely between 200 and 500 ...

The toughness of most ceramics is 2–4 MPa √ m, but toughened zirconia is as much as 13, and cemented carbides are often over 20. [15] The toughness-by-indention methods have been discredited recently and are being replaced by more rigorous methods that measure crack growth in a notched beam in bending.
