  2. Zirconium dioxide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zirconium_dioxide

    [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 ...

  4. Yttria-stabilized zirconia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yttria-stabilized_zirconia

    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.

  6. Zirconia toughened alumina - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zirconia_Toughened_Alumina

    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 ...

  7. Cubic zirconia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cubic_zirconia

    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.

  8. Zirconium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zirconium

    Zirconium dioxide (ZrO 2) is used in laboratory crucibles, in metallurgical furnaces, and as a refractory material [13] Because it is mechanically strong and flexible, it can be sintered into ceramic knives and other blades. [51] Zircon (ZrSiO 4) and cubic zirconia (ZrO 2) are cut into gemstones for use in jewelry.
