Technox¬Æ 3000 is a HIPped Yttria Tetragonal Zirconia Polycrystal known for its exceptional mechanical properties, including high strength and toughness. This material features ultrafine tetragonal grains that enhance its load-bearing capabilities, making it suitable for demanding applications. It exhibits a flexural strength of 1720 MPa and a compressive strength of 2500 MPa at 20¬8C, indicating its robustness under stress. The thermal conductivity is low at 2.2 W/mK, which is beneficial for thermal management in various engineering applications. Additionally, Technox 3000 offers excellent wear resistance and corrosion resistance, making it ideal for use in severe-service environments. Its high fracture toughness, with values around 13.0 MPa m^1/2, contributes to its durability in cyclic fatigue situations. This product is suitable for applications requiring high-performance ceramics, particularly in industries such as oil and gas, industrial tooling, and other impact-prone environments.
Zirconias have a unique crystal structure which combines extreme strength, high fracture toughness, and excellent wear resistance. CoorsTek has engineered transformation toughened formulations with zirconia crystal structures which expand when a micro-crack is formed — preventing further crack growth and arresting brittle failure.
CoorsTek zirconias, including our high-performance Technox® zirconia brand, are ideal for extreme mechanical environments, particularly impact prone applications. Certain zirconia compositions provide enhanced fatigue loading resistance.
