Black Zirconia Ceramic

This compound is one of the hardest strongest ceramics on the market.

Black zirconia ceramic. A band made from this ceramic material is completely scratch and abrasion proof. Transformation toughened zirconia is used to make ceramic knives. Zirconium often confused with it s sister metal titanium is a refractive metal typically used in industrial applications and more recently jewellery. A black zirconium ring is made using a zirconium based ceramic.

Because of the hardness ceramic edged cutlery stays sharp longer than steel edged products. Machine parts optical parts spindles and looms parts and measuring equipment. It s natural colour is similar to titanium but then by heating it a black ceramic like zirconium oxide layer is naturally formed. It is also used for ornaments.

The chromatic coordinates l a and b and optical images of the synthesized ceramics are shown in table 2 and fig. Black zirconia ceramics are bright black and uniform in color. Black zirconia ceramic the main use of zirconia is in the production of ceramics with other uses including as a protective coating on particles of titanium dioxide pigments as a refractory material in insulation abrasives and enamels.
