Yttria partially stabilized zirconia offers superior load-bearing capability, facilitates finer surface finishes, and can hold a sharper edge (for cutting blades). Yttria partially stabilized zirconia offers high strength and toughness. The ultrafine (submicron) tetragonal grains provide maximum strength. This hot isostatic pressing (HIPped) grade offers additional strengthening.Information provided by CoorsTek. |
