TECHNICAL DATA SHEET
General notes:
» Zirconia Toughened Alumina (ZTA)
» a superior combination of high strength (from zirconia) and high hardness (from alumina)
» relatively low density
» no open porosity
» very hard surface, good abrasion and wear resistance
» good exural strength and fracture toughness
» excellent thermal properties and high temperature stability
» extreme corrosion resistance, nearly chemically inert
» electrically insulating
» typically applications includes soldering processes, handling of components during thermal and chemical
processes. Generally used when very rigid tips are required
