Zirconiumdioxid-verstärktes Aluminiumoxid (ZTA - Al₂O₃ 90 / ZrO₂ 10)

Goodfellow provides Zirconia Toughened Alumina (ZTA) in powder form with a composition of 90% Al₂O₃ and 10% ZrO₂ for specialized applications in research and industry. This ZTA formulation balances the high hardness and wear resistance of alumina with the toughening effects of zirconia, resulting in a material with enhanced mechanical properties and thermal stability. The composite is known for its excellent fracture toughness, superior wear resistance, and remarkable chemical inertness at high temperatures. ZTA with this composition finds primary applications in the aerospace industry for components requiring high temperature resistance, in the automotive sector for wear-resistant parts, and in the chemical processing industry for corrosion-resistant equipment. In advanced manufacturing, this ZTA is utilized in the production of high-performance cutting tools and precision components for machinery operating under severe conditions. The material also shows promise in emerging technologies such as solid oxide fuel cells and advanced sensors for harsh environments. Goodfellow's supply of this ZTA composition supports ongoing research in materials science, particularly in the development of ceramics for extreme operating conditions. The unique properties of this ZTA formulation make it a critical material for both scientific exploration and industrial innovation, especially in applications requiring a combination of high hardness, toughness, and thermal stability.
