Astro Met AmZirOx 86 Zirconia - Zirconium Oxide

General Description:AmZirOx 86 zirconia (Astro Met Zirconium Oxide) is a yttria stabilized zirconia ceramic material which features high strength and toughness making it a candidate material for use in severe structural applications which exhibit wear, corrosion, abrasion and impact. This material is also commonly referred to as Y-TZP or Yttria Tetragonal Zirconia Polycrystal. AmZirOx 86 zirconia has been developed with a unique micro structure utilizing transformation toughening which allows AmZirOx 86 zirconia to absorb the energy of impacts that would cause most ceramics to fail.
