Alumina Toughened Zirconia (ATZ)
ATZ ceramic material combining zirconia toughness with alumina hardness for wear-resistant, strong and precision ceramic components.
Alumina Toughened Zirconia (ATZ) ceramic components for demanding operating environments.
Alumina toughened zirconia combines the toughness of zirconia with the hardness and wear resistance of alumina. It is useful for components that need better fracture resistance than alumina while keeping good wear behavior and dimensional stability.
- Impact load, wear mode and why standard alumina may be insufficient
- Required toughness, hardness and dimensional stability balance
- Mating material, lubrication, fluid contact or abrasive media
- Precision machining, surface finish and edge strength requirements
- Comparison target: alumina, zirconia, ZTA or ATZ
