Sunward 3Y Zirconia Powder
3 mole% yttria-stabilized tetragonal zirconia polycrystals (3Y-TZP) have proved to be an important structural ceramic material with excellent mechanical properties, such as high fracture toughness, strength, and hardness.
The properties of high quality TP-3Y zirconia powders:
