Zirconia
Zirconia (ZrO2) is a hard and tough solid solution combined with Zirconia and a small amount of Yttrium.
With its good wear resistance, electric insulation, and chemical resistance, Zirconia is commonly used as wear-resistant components and machine parts.
The thermal conductivity of the zirconia is very low (3w/m・K). Therefore, it can also be applied as a heat insulator.
