Zirconia Toughened Alumina (ZTA) ceramic components for demanding operating environments.

Zirconia toughened alumina improves the toughness of alumina while retaining good hardness and wear resistance. It is a useful material for components that need better damage tolerance than alumina and better cost control than full zirconia.

Common review points
  • Impact, wear and damage-tolerance requirement
  • Why standard alumina is not enough and full zirconia may be excessive
  • Pump, valve, guide, roller or liner contact condition
  • Surface finish, tolerance and edge strength requirements
  • Production volume, cost target and inspection requirements
