Zirkoniumdioxide keramiek (ZrO2)

Zirkoniumdioxide keramiek (ZrO2)

Zirconia ceramic is a type of technical ceramic widely used in industrial applications. It’s typically not made from pure zirconia but rather from zirconia mixed with stabilizers like CaO, MgO, CeO₂, or Y₂O₃ during the sintering process. These stabilizers give zirconia ceramics different properties. For instance, yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) has a theoretical operating temperature of around 500°C (in practice, it’s often lower), while magnesia-stabilized zirconia (MSZ) can withstand temperatures exceeding 2200°C when processed with specialized techniques.
The manufacturing process for zirconia ceramics involves powder forming, high-temperature sintering, and CNC machining. Beyond the usual benefits of ceramics like wear resistance and corrosion resistance, zirconia ceramics stand out for their exceptional fracture toughness, making them easier to machine compared to most other ceramics.

Fully stabilized zirconia ceramics are made from pure zirconia without the addition of stabilizers and are sintered at temperatures reaching 2000°C, resulting in a transparent appearance, also known as transparent zirconia, with a cubic crystal structure. Partially stabilized zirconia refers to zirconia ceramics sintered with stabilizers such as yttria, magnesia, or calcia, featuring a crystal structure that consists of a coexistence of monoclinic and tetragonal phases.

Mg-PSZ (Magnesia-Partially Stabilized Zirconia)
This Ceramic material is partially stabilized by adding a small amount of magnesia (MgO), resulting in a mix of tetragonal, monoclinic, and cubic phases.

The features of Mg-PSZ Ceramic
The tetragonal phase can transform into a monoclinic phase under stress, a process called transformation toughening, which enhances toughness.
Mg-PSZ exhibits high strength and offer extra fracture resistance.

MSZ (Magnesia-Stabilized Zirconia)
MSZ is created by adding a higher amount of magnesia, which fully stabilizes zirconia into a cubic phase. This prevents phase transformations at relatively low temperatures, resulting in greater stability.

The Features of MSZ Ceramic
Predominantly cubic phase, with minimal to no monoclinic or tetragonal phases.
Lacks transformation toughening but offers exceptional high-temperature stability and resistance to chemical corrosion.
Lower toughness but excels in high-temperature and chemical-resistant applications.

Electric fused zirconia ceramics are made using an electric fusion process, resulting in highly controlled grain sizes. These ceramics are specifically designed for environments with significant temperature variations.

They can withstand temperatures up to 2500°C and offer exceptional thermal shock resistance. Even under rapid heating conditions, such as 25°C to 1500°C, the material remains undamaged.

This makes electric fused zirconia an ideal material for crucibles, significantly reducing preheating time and improving production efficiency while minimizing the risk of cracking during use.

Zirconia Toughened Alumina (ZTA) combines an alumina (Al₂O₃) matrix with zirconia (ZrO₂) as the toughening phase. When ZrO₂ particles undergo phase transformation, they expand, creating compressive stress at the crack tips. This compressive stress prevents crack propagation and significantly improves the material’s toughness.
ZTA ceramics are widely used in applications requiring high strength, durability, and fracture resistance.
