Zirconia (ZrO2) – Custom Machined Parts
Zirconium Dioxide, commonly known as Zirconia, is a high-performance ceramic material which exhibits excellent mechanical properties such as high hardness and fracture toughness. This makes zirconia ideal for a variety of wear resistance applications.
It is difficult to manufacture zirconia in large sizes compared to other oxide materials like alumina. In addition, zirconia is a relatively expensive material, and its use is usually limited to small parts / components which require high bending strength and resistance to fracture, chipping and cracking.

Zirconia – Key Properties & Popular Applications
Key Properties | Applications | |
---|---|---|
High Strength |
Zirconia is an exceptionally strong ceramic. Due to its high bending strength and fracture toughness, it resists cracking, bending or breaking. It can also withstand severe impacts and heavy loads. |
■High load-bearing parts ■High impact-resistant parts ■Cutting tools such as blades and knives |
Low Thermal Conductivity | Zirconia is an excellent thermal insulator due to its very low thermal conductivity. | ■Heat insulation parts |
Good Chemical Property | Zirconia resists acid and alkali attack. | ■Pump parts & valve components |
Excellent Wear Resistance | Zirconia is a popular material for parts used in high friction environments. | ■Wear-resistant parts ■Pistons & liners |
