Processing and Properties of Zirconia-Toughened Alumina Prepared by Gelcasting
Zirconia-toughened alumina (ZTA) using yttria-stabilised zirconia is a good option for ceramic-ceramic bearing couples for hip joint replacement. Gelcasting is a colloidal processing technique capable of producing complex products with a range of dimensions and materials by a relatively low-cost production process. Using gelcasting, ZTA samples were prepared, optimising the stages of fabricatio...
متن کاملPreparation Zirconia Toughened Alumina by Deflocculation-Flocculation Route (TECHNICAL NOTE).
Partially stabilized zirconia (PSZ) agglomerate toughened alumina has been prepared by the "deflocculation-flocculation" technique, using 2 and 3 mol. % Y2O3-doped zirconia powders. Samples containing up to about 30 vol.% zirconia were obtained. The resulting microstructure seems to be mainly influenced by the physical properties of the starting powders, e.g. agglomerate size and the specific s...
متن کاملCrack growth resistance of alumina, zirconia and zirconia toughened alumina ceramics for joint prostheses.
Mono-phase bio-ceramics (alumina and zirconia) are widely used as femoral heads in total hip replacements (THR) as an alternative to metal devices. Unfortunately, the orthopaedic community reports significant in-vivo failures. Material scientists are already familiar with composites like alumina zirconia. Since both are biocompatible, this could prove to be a new approach to implants. This pape...
متن کاملImprovement of mechanical properties of zirconia-toughened alumina by sinter forging
ZTA powder with a composition of 85 wt% alumina/15 wt% zirconia was prepared by a gel precipitation method. Sinter forging was performed with this powder to enhance the mechanical properties of ZTA materials. The influence of processing flaws on mechanical properties of sinter forged materials and pressureless sintered materials was investigated. Sinter forging at 40 MPa effectively decreases p...
