Zirconia Toughened Alumina - ZTA - Al₂O₃ 75 / ZrO₂ 25

Goodfellow offers Zirconia Toughened Alumina (ZTA) in powder form with a composition of 75% Al₂O₃ and 25% ZrO₂ for advanced ceramic applications. ZTA combines the high hardness and wear resistance of alumina with the exceptional toughness and strength of zirconia, resulting in a material with superior mechanical properties. This composite is characterized by its high fracture toughness, excellent wear resistance, and good chemical stability. ZTA finds applications in industries requiring materials with high performance under extreme conditions, such as aerospace, automotive, and medical sectors. In the medical field, ZTA is used for producing durable and biocompatible implants, particularly in orthopedics and dentistry. The material also plays a crucial role in the manufacturing of cutting tools and wear-resistant components for industrial machinery. Emerging technologies benefiting from ZTA include advanced thermal barrier coatings for jet engines and high-performance bearings for extreme environments. Goodfellow's provision of ZTA supports cutting-edge research in materials science, particularly in the development of next-generation ceramics for demanding applications. The unique combination of properties in ZTA makes it invaluable in both scientific research and industrial contexts where exceptional mechanical performance and reliability are paramount.
