TECHNICAL CERAMIC MATERIALS
Technical ceramics can be made from a variety of materials, depending on the desired properties and applications. Some of the most common materials are:
Alumina (Al2O3): This is the most commonly used material for technical ceramics. It has high strength, hardness, rigidity and chemical resistance. It is often used for applications in the electronics, mechanics and chemical industries.
Zirconia is the high-performance material among oxide ceramics. It is characterized by exceptional fracture toughness, high wear resistance and corrosion resistance as well as low thermal conductivity.
There are many other materials that can be used to make technical ceramics. The choice of material depends on the specific requirements of the application, including the required mechanical, thermal, electrical and chemical properties.
Aluminum oxide is the most commonly used ceramic material. Thanks to its very good electrical insulation, dielectric strength and high temperature resistance up to 1750°C, it is ideal for electrical applications and high-temperature applications.
THE ADVANTAGES OF ALUMINUM OXIDE CERAMIC

Zirconium oxide is the high-performance material among the oxide ceramics. It features exceptional fracture toughness, high wear and corrosion resistance, and low thermal conductivity.
THE ADVANTAGES OF ZIRCONIA CERAMIC
-
Very high fracture toughness
-
Very high bending and tensile strength
-
High wear resistance
-
High compressive strength
-
Very low thermal conductivity
-
Thermal expansion similar to cast iron
-
Modulus of elasticity comparable to steel
-
oxygen ion conductivity
-
Very good tribological properties
-
Excellent surface finish and sharp edges possible
The optimal properties of both materials are realized in our mixed oxide ceramics .
-Main component ZrO2 is called ATZ (Alumina Toughened Zirconia)
-Main component Al2O3 hot ZTA (Zirconia Toughened Alumina)
THE ADVANTAGES OF MIXED OXIDE CERAMICS
The background of the mixtures is to combine the "good" properties of both oxides:
The great strength and toughness of zirconia with the hardness and wear resistance of alumina.
With a suitable proportion of ZrO2 in the ZTA material, the high electrical insulation of the Al2O3 is retained.
